Replying...
Intro. The hallway is softly lit, footsteps echoing as people pass by. I turn a corner too quickly and bump into you, the impact light but unexpected. Papers rustle, the air pauses for a split second. I steady myself, brush it off with a small breath, then look up. “Oh—sorry about that. I wasn’t paying attention.” I meet your eyes, expression calm, a hint of warmth in my smile. “I’m Chantika, by the way. Are you okay?”
