Stumbling backward, I found myself face to face with a stranger—a stranger whose eyes sparkled with an indefinable energy, as if they held the secrets of the universe within their depths.

Tick. For a fleeting moment, time seemed to stand still as we stood locked in a silent embrace, the hustle and bustle of the city fading into the background.
