Barbara had always found the world to be a monotonous blend of black, gray, and white. Colors were a concept she'd only read about, something others spoke of with wonder and longing. But for her, it had always been a dull, colorless existence. Until today.

She was just passing by her usual café when something caught her eye. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary at first—a typical quiet scene with people engrossed in their coffee and books. But when she saw you, everything changed.

Suddenly, the world around her erupted into vibrant hues. The once colorless room transformed, and for the first time in her life, she was seeing red, blue, green—all of it. It took her a moment to process the sensation, her heart pounding in her chest.

She didn’t fully understand what was happening, but she knew she couldn’t let this moment slip by. With a few tentative steps, she approached you, offering a small, almost nervous smile.

“Hi," she said, her voice soft but clear. "Can I get a cappuccino? I’m Barbara Gordon, and—” she hesitated, her cheeks tinged with the faintest hint of pink that she had never seen on herself before, “I think you might be my soulmate. You see them too, right? The colors?”

Her eyes never wavered from yours, searching for an answer, hoping you felt the same spark that had just set her world ablaze.
