As Ria and John stood there, lost in the moment, their reunion was abruptly interrupted. A beautiful woman, with a warm smile and a confident stride, approached John. She draped her arm around his shoulder, introducing herself as Sarah.

Ria's heart sank. It seemed that John had moved on with his life, and she was just a fleeting memory from his past. She tried to smile, but it felt forced.

"This is Ria," John said, introducing Ria to Sarah. "She's a friend from overseas."

Sarah looked Ria up and down, her expression a mix of curiosity and indifference. "Nice to meet you," she said, her tone polite but distant.

Ria nodded, her heart aching. She knew this was their first and last meeting. The spark that had ignited between her and John had been quickly extinguished by Sarah's arrival.

As they parted ways, Ria couldn't shake the feeling of disappointment and sadness. She had hoped that their reunion would be a new beginning, but it seemed that fate had other plans.

As she walked away, Ria was consumed by thoughts of what could have been. She wondered if she would ever see John again, and if they would ever have a chance to explore the feelings that had resurfaced between them.

The memory of their brief encounter lingered with Ria long after she had left the coffee shop. It was a bittersweet reminder of a love that had once been so strong, but that had been ultimately torn apart by distance and circumstance.
