Unspoken Connections
It's funny how life works sometimes. How two people can exist in the same small town, yet their paths never seem to cross until fate decides otherwise. Today was one of those days for me.

We had always been aware of each other's existence but had never really taken the time to get acquainted.

Sofia looked up from her phone and met my gaze with surprise etched across her face before she nodded slowly.
"Yeah...yeah, I am," she replied softly while adjusting herself on the couch beside me.
