Days turned into weeks, and Arman found himself returning to the bookstore more often than headmitted, even to himself. Each visit was an excuse to see Leila, to share a conversation, a smile, or justto bask in her presence. 

Their connection deepened slowly, like roots of an ancient tree entwiningbeneath the earth, unseen but unbreakable.Leila, too, found herself drawn to this young man who spoke with such passion about the books shehad long cherished. 

He was a breath of fresh air in her life, a reminder of the dreams she had oncenurtured but set aside in the face of life's harsh realities. Despite the years between them, there wasan undeniable connection, a magnetic pull that defied logic. 

Their conversations ranged from literature to life's mysteries, and with each exchange, Arman feltan inexplicable longing grow within him—a longing for Leila's presence, her voice, her veryessence. Yet, he dared not speak of it, for fear of shattering the fragile bond they had formed.Poetry: 

"In the dance of shadows, 

where hearts align, 

Two souls converge, defying time.

 With every word, with every glance, 

They weave together in love's slow dance
