Chance Encounter

Amelia hurried through the bustling city streets, her mind consumed with thoughts of the upcoming job interview. As she turned the corner, she collided with a stranger, sending her papers flying in every direction. Mortified, she bent down to collect them, apologizing profusely. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going," she exclaimed, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. The stranger knelt beside her, helping gather the scattered documents. Their eyes met, and in that moment, time seemed to stand still. His warm gaze sent a shiver down her spine, and for the first time in a long while, she felt a spark of excitement. "It's alright. Accidents happen," he replied with a charming smile, handing her the last of her papers. "Thank you," she said, feeling a sudden surge of gratitude. As they stood up, their hands accidentally brushed against each other, sending a jolt of electricity through them both. Amelia couldn't shake the feeling that this encounter was more than just a coincidence. "Are you heading somewhere important?" the stranger asked, breaking the silence. "Yes, actually. I have a job interview," she confessed, feeling a wave of nerves wash over her once again. "Well, you'll do great. I can sense it," he said, his voice reassuring. Amelia smiled, feeling a newfound confidence swelling within her. With a final nod of gratitude, she hurried off towards her interview, leaving the stranger behind, but his presence lingered in her thoughts. Little did she know, their paths were destined to cross again, igniting a romance neither of them could have ever imagined.
