How We Met

How We Met

It was a rainy Tuesday morning at a little coffee shop on Maple Street. James walked in, distracted by his phone, and managed to spill his entire latte all over the floor. Sarah, sitting nearby with her book, offered a handful of napkins and her brightest smile. That smile changed everything. What started as an embarrassing coffee accident turned into hours of conversation, then dinner, then adventures around the world. Eight years later, we're still making each other laugh, still going on adventures, and still falling more in love every day.
