At exactly 12 PM, she opened a random chat app, letting it connect her to a stranger. A new match appeared on her screen. Without much thought, she typed:

"Hi."

The response came quickly.

"Hi." she replies.

Moments later, another message followed.

"I'm not feeling well, honestly."

She frowned and replied, "Why?"

A photo came through—a picture of herself, taken years ago. Her breath caught in her throat as she stared at it. Then, another message appeared.

"We used to be in a relationship. It was good—no fights, no issues. But one day, I got caught smoking, and she didn’t like it. She hated cigarettes, and because of that… she broke up with me."

Her heart began to race as she read his words.

"I’ve changed," he added. "I miss her more than anything."

And that’s when it hit her. The person on the other side of the screen… was Nathaniel.
