A Love Story
# Chapter 1: The Chance Encounter

Emily Wilson, a successful event planner in her late 20s, was on her way to meet a potential new client at a trendy coffee shop in downtown Manhattan. As she rushed down the sidewalk, lost in thought, she collided with a handsome stranger, spilling coffee all over his crisp white shirt.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry!" Emily exclaimed, as the stranger quickly grabbed a handful of napkins from a nearby street vendor to blot the stain.
