THE LOVE ALGORITHM

"The Love Algorithm"

Lena had always believed that love was a fairytale—beautiful, but not meant for her. As a 23-year-old AI engineer, her world revolved around codes and algorithms, not candlelit dinners or poetic confessions. That is, until she met Adrian.

Adrian wasn’t like the guys she had met before. He was a literature major who believed in handwritten letters and stargazing dates. Their worlds were polar opposites, yet something about him intrigued her.

Their first conversation happened at a coffee shop when Adrian accidentally spilled his cappuccino on Lena’s laptop. She was furious at first, but when she saw his embarrassed smile and his desperate apologies, she found herself laughing instead.

"I owe you a coffee," he said.

"And a new laptop," she teased.
