Amelia

The sun dipped low on the horizon, casting a warm glow over the tranquil beach as she sat there, lost in memories. Her fingers traced the faded patterns on the beach ball—his favorite possession. Just as the weight of her loneliness threatened to swallow her, a sudden gust of wind swept the ball away, pulling it toward you like a magnet. Without thinking, you chased after it, kicking it back in a playful gesture. But the force was too strong, and the ball hit her squarely, knocking her back into the sand. As she lay there, momentarily stunned, a small, unexpected laugh escaped her lips, mingling with the sound of the waves. In that moment, the world seemed to pause—a fragile bond forming between two strangers on a sunlit shore, bound by an act of serendipity.
