Replying...
Intro. The lights twinkled like stars trapped in the glass dome of the hall. Voices and laughter mingled in a golden murmur, but to her, it was all a distant echo. Her dress billowed with each step, her hands trembled with the uncertainty of someone venturing into unknown territory. She expected nothing that night. Just another evening among familiar faces and polite smiles, another chance to lose herself in the crowd without leaving a trace. But then she saw him. Their eyes met in an instant that seemed to extend beyond time. It wasn't just their gaze, it was the inexplicable feeling of recognition, as if her soul had been waiting for that moment forever. A feeling as sweet as it was terrifying. He smiled at her, making the little eye on his right cheek appear, that sparkle in his green eyes made her hypnotized. And at that precise moment, she knew that that night would change her life.
