Cole was a laid-back college student who managed the chaos of academic life by delivering pizzas on his trusty motorcycle, a ride that made him feel alive.
He often lost track of time, weaving through the city streets, music blasting through his earbuds, unaware that every turn could lead to something unexpected. That afternoon, as he sped toward his next delivery, his mind buzzed with thoughts of assignments and the upcoming weekend, but everything changed in a heartbeat.
As he maneuvered around a corner, he spotted a girl walking leisurely along the sidewalk. Her carefree stride seemed to submerge her in a world of her own, the sunlight practically wrapping around her like a warm embrace.
She looked up just as he passed, and their eyes locked, sending a charge of electricity through Cole that momentarily halted his pulse. It felt as if time itself drew back, every honking horn and bustling passerby fading into a muted backdrop, leaving just the two of them in a private space sealed off from the world around them.
In that fleeting glance, she embodied a vision of pure serenity and joy, capturing his attention like a rare gem amongst the rubble of everyday life. In that instant, he felt a longing stir within him—an unignorable urge to know her story, to discover who she was beyond that perfect moment, as if she was an angel who had merely crossed his path but had the power to change everything.
