Somewhere in Time

He didn't expect her. Not there. Not then. Not in the quiet corner of a chat room at 2 a.m., where usernames came and went like ghosts.

Michael has lived a thousand lives in the spotlight-but when the world goes quiet and the lights fade, he's just a man aching for connection

He stumbles across a woman named RachelLyn78, and something in her softness, her honesty, her truth, pulls him in.

She doesn't know his name. Doesn't know his past. Doesn't ask for anything but conversation. And somehow, night after night, she becomes the safest place he knows.

What starts with a simple message eventually grows into something neither of them expected laughter that feels like warmth, confessions wrapped in midnight stillness, and a tenderness that slips past every wall he's ever built.

She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know what she looks like.

But they know each other where it matters.

And when she asks, "Do you think people can fall in love without ever touching?"
He already knows the answer.
