Chapter 1: A Chance Encounter
Emily rushed into the coffee shop, her heels clicking on the floor. She was already running late for a meeting with a potential client, and she still needed her morning caffeine fix. As she waited in line, she checked her phone for what felt like the hundredth time. Just as she was about to order, a tall, messy-haired man collided with her, spilling coffee everywhere.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed, as he grabbed a handful of napkins to help clean up the mess.
Emily couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the situation. "It's okay, I needed a break from my caffeine addiction anyway," she said with a smile.
As they introduced themselves, Emily felt a spark of attraction that she couldn't ignore. But she pushed it aside, focusing on her meeting and the long day ahead.
Little did she know, this chance encounter would change her life forever.
