We Met Before We Met

She wasn't looking for anyone.
He was just another username in a livestream chat.
They had never met.
Never stood in the same room.
Never even seen each other the way people usually see the person they fall for.
And yet, somewhere between random conversations, late-night messages, stupid jokes, arguments, comfort, and the little things that slowly became important, two complete strangers became something neither of them had planned for.
What started with a simple-
"hey, I can help you if you want."
-turned into a story neither of them knew how to walk away from.
But loving someone through a screen is easy when the screen is all you know.
What happens when real life finally gets involved?
When distance isn't the only thing standing between them?

When the two worlds they've kept separate begin to collide?
This is the story of Dhrisha and a stranger she never expected to meet.
Except...

they met long before they ever met...
