Magic at the Unwanted Party

Matthew almost skipped the party completely, already regretting saying yes before he even arrived.

Sophia felt the same way, dragging her feet through the door only because her

best friend practically forced her. Neither wanted to be there surrounded by strangers and

loud music. Then Matthew noticed Sophia standing alone by the window looking just as

uncomfortable as he felt. Their eyes locked and something unexpected sparked between

them. They started talking and suddenly hours disappeared like minutes.

Every word felt effortless, every laugh genuine. They discovered they both loved

old bookstores and hated small talk. They both preferred quiet nights over crowded rooms.
