Amelia's gaze drifted out the window, her eyes tracing the familiar contours of the street. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow over the quiet neighborhood. She loved this time of day, when the world seemed to slow down and the shadows grew long and mysterious.
As she lost herself in thought, a moving truck rumbled down the street, shattering the peaceful atmosphere. Amelia's curiosity piqued, she watched as the truck parked in front of the empty house next door. A tall, imposing figure emerged from the driver's side, his movements fluid and confident.
Veron stretched his arms, his dark blue eyes scanning the street as if sizing up the competition. His gaze lingered on Amelia's window, and for a fleeting moment, their eyes met. Amelia felt a jolt of electricity run through her veins, as if she'd been touched by a spark of lightning.
She quickly looked away, her cheeks flushing. Who was this stranger, and what brought him to their quiet neighborhood? As she turned back to her book, Amelia couldn't shake the feeling that her life was about to change forever.
Veron, meanwhile, was unaware of the eyes upon him. He was too busy unpacking his meager belongings, his mind focused on the task at hand. But as he glanced up at the house next door, he caught a glimpse of a golden-haired girl watching him from the window. For a moment, their eyes locked, and Veron felt a flicker of something he couldn't quite explain.
