It all started with a text-one she never meant to send. But what began as an innocent mistake quickly turned into something more. Falling for her brother's best friend was never part of the plan. Bound by their shared connection to the one person who meant the world to them both, their journey from distant strangers to now again strangers friends was anything but ordinary. Now, it's been years, a lot had happened and they meet again. Sometimes, the best stories are the ones we never see coming.

Two strangers, one umbrella and a heavy downpour. Coincidence, right? But what happens when they keep bumping into each other every time it rains. Another coincidence or is it fate playing cupid? Read this short story to know more. Keep your blankets, and a warm cup of hot chocolate ready as you dive into this meet cute novella.

Three years ago, they shared a single evening that never quite left them- a conversation too easy, laughter too familiar, a pull too strong for strangers. But the timing was wrong, the circumstances messier than either could admit. No second date. No promises. Now, out of the blue, his name lights up her screen, like a ghost who never really died. She answers. What follows isn't dramatic-just two voices, unexpectedly familiar, threading their way through old silences. Do they still mean something to each other... or is this just emotional static stirred by nostalgia? They don't know. Maybe it's fate catching a glitch. Or maybe, some stories aren't meant to be rewritten- just reread once before putting them down for good.
