Music filled the air, and couples twirled gracefully across the cobblestone streets, their laughter intermingling with the lively melody.
Selvina stood at the edge of the crowd, her eyes absorbing the vibrant scene. The joyous atmosphere only heightened her sense of solitude, as almost everyone around her was paired off. A pang of loneliness tugged at her heart, making her feel oddly out of place.

But as she turned, she nearly collided with someone who had appeared before her as if out of thin air.
Startled, Selvina's heart skipped a beat as she looked up to see Griffin standing there, his presence as imposing as ever.
