Chapter 1

The room full of grey, light up.

The first time I saw her, the world didn’t stop—
…but it did slow down, just long enough for me to notice the way her smile brightened the entire room..

I still remember that day so clearly.
I was already working, getting used to the rhythm of everyday tasks, when she walked in as a new trainee. She looked a little nervous, a little excited—and somehow, in that single moment, it felt like destiny gently tapped me on the shoulder and whispered, “There she is.”

From across the workplace, our eyes met briefly.
That tiny moment—quick, simple, ordinary—became the beginning of everything.
It felt like love at first sight, even if I didn’t admit it then.

I didn’t rush.
Instead, I learned her laughter, her kindness, her dreams.
I watched her grow confident in her new role.
And little by little, I let her see who I was too.
