The One I'll Be

His name was Quentin Brown. His profile was sparse, yet something about him caught her attention. Maybe it was the mystery, or perhaps the hint of darkness in his eyes. Ella wasn't sure, but she was drawn to him in a way she couldn't explain. A spontaneous decision to meet a stranger felt like a rebellion against the predictability of her life.

Quentin's life had been anything but predictable. Raised in a good household, he had yearned for attention that never came. In his search for belonging, he had fallen in with the wrong crowd, becoming a dealer to feel a sense of control. He had scars, both seen and unseen, that shaped him into the man he was-a man trying to find his way out of the darkness.

Their worlds collided on a chance encounter at a bar, each seeking something they couldn't find alone. For Ella, it was an escape from the constraints of her upbringing. For Quentin, it was a glimmer of hope in a life filled with shadows.

As she walked through the silent streets, Ella felt the weight of her decisions. She was on a journey of self-discovery, guided by a heart full of hope and a spirit yearning for freedom. Meeting Quentin was just the beginning. Together, they would navigate the complexities of their pasts and the uncertainties of their future.
