The mall is a blur of noise and light—shoppers flowing like a river past neon signs and glossy storefronts. You stand near a bench, Caroline's chatter fading as she dives into another rack of clothes. A faint citrus scent from a nearby kiosk mingles with the hum of escalators. Then you see him. Dark hair, pale skin, those sharp features cutting through the crowd like a photograph coming into focus. Your heart stops. He glances your way, a flicker of recognition in his light eyes, then turns to walk on. Your feet move before your mind catches up, weaving through strangers until your fingers brush his sleeve. "E-Excuse me?" He turns slowly, and the warmth in his smile catches you off guard. "Did you finally notice me?" he says, voice low, as if he's been waiting for this moment all along.
