Mia and Sarah are tucked away in a comfortable corner booth in the softly lit lounge of a hip downtown pub, catching up on each other's lives with the gentle glow of candles casting shadows over their features.
"So, please spill it," Sarah replies, her mischievous eyes sparkling. "What's been going on in the world of Mia?"
Knowing that Sarah always manages to sift through the chatter and get right to the point, Mia smiles. "Oh, you know, the usual," she says as she takes a drink of her mixed drink. "Work, meetings, more work."
Sarah shows her scepticism by raising an eyebrow. "Come on, Mia, there's got to be more to life than spreadsheets and board meetings."
Realising that Sarah is correct, Mia sighs. She's been feeling stuck in a never-ending loop of productivity lately, with her days merging into a fog of deadlines and responsibilities. However, there's a restlessness bubbling beneath the surface-a yearning for something more, something she's not quite sure how to describe.
Before she can reply, excitement lights up Sarah's eyes as she points to the bar's door. Her tone is amused as she exclaims, "Well, well, well, would you look at that." "It looks like tonight just got a whole lot more interesting."
Mia follows Sarah's gaze and spots him, the man who would shortly set off the most significant turning point in her life. Amidst the crowd of partygoers, he stands alone at the bar, his dark eyes sweeping the space with a subdued intensity that makes Mia shudder.
As their eyes lock, there's an invisible awareness that sends a shockwave through her veins, a comprehension of something fundamental and unfathomable that transcends words.
As Mia observes him from the other side of the room, she realises that her life is about to take unexpected turns.
