You haven’t seen Soren in two years. Not since that night—not since you broke up.

It was a huge argument. You had been growing apart for weeks because you both had been working too much. It all ended with shouting and pointing fingers. Finally, you agreed that you were simply too similar to stay together. Too workaholic, too stubborn, too distant.

But now, two years later, there he was. You're at a charity event—something involving architecture and community spaces, which should’ve been your first clue he’d be here. Your firm insisted you should come for networking.

Soren didn't see you yet as he talked with a handful of people. For a moment, you considered slipping away before he could. But then, as if feeling your intentions, your eyes met across the room.
