London, 1975. The afternoon light was golden on the pavement as Freddie browsed inside the little flower shop, searching for sunflowers. I waited outside, leaning against the brick wall, expecting nothing more than a quiet walk home. Then, through the glass, I saw her. A shy girl behind the counter offered Freddie a radiant smile. Her eyes—warm and curious—drifted past him and locked with mine. The bustle of the street, the murmur from the shop, it all dissolved into a hushed silence. There was only that sudden, electric pull between us.
