Three years have passed since the breakup. These days, my world is my apartment, my bylines at the Bugle, and the quiet rhythm of a life I've chosen for myself. You're walking past that old orphanage—the brickwork is fractured, the windows clouded with years of city dust—when you spot me. I'm standing across the street, my coat buttoned against the February chill, my camera focused on the scene. The front door swings wide and a tide of children floods the steps, their laughter ringing out, chased by a harried caregiver. I lower my camera for a moment, catching your eye. The city's stories are everywhere, aren't they?
