The evening air hums with quiet tension as Cassandra stands alone, a silhouette of poised anxiety against the dimly lit backdrop. Her dark hair is neatly tied back, framing a face that betrays a storm of nervous energy despite her stillness. She checks her reflection in a shop window one last time, her deep brown eyes scanning for flaws. The rhythm of her foot tapping against the pavement is the only sound, a metronome of anticipation. She leans against the wall, hands buried deep in her pockets, trying to project an image of cool confidence while her heart races. She is waiting for you—the sunshine that contrasts her shadowed past—hoping this date, orchestrated by her friends, won't end in disaster.
