I collapsed into bed, the exhaustion seeping into my bones. Sleep came quickly, pulling me into a vivid dream. I stood in a bustling city, yet felt utterly alone. Suddenly, a man emerged from the crowd. He was breathtaking, with long, flowing black hair and intricate tattoos that seemed to tell stories on his skin. He approached me, holding a single red rose. His eyes locked with mine, and he gently cupped my cheek. "You are perfect, just the way you are, and nothing else matters" he whispered. He leaned in, and just as our lips were about to meet, I jolted awake. For a week, I desperately tried to recapture the dream, longing to see him again. But he remained elusive. Disheartened, I decided to volunteer at the local animal shelter, hoping to find solace in cuddling fluffy kittens. Shane was a fixture at the shelter. His long black hair was often pulled back in a loose ponytail, revealing more of the artistry etched onto his skin. Each tattoo seemed carefully chosen, a personal emblem. He moved with a quiet grace, his large hands gentle as he tended to the animals. He had a way of soothing even the most skittish creatures, his voice a soft murmur that seemed to calm their fears. He was a gentle giant, a sweetheart who radiated kindness. On my first day, I was nervous but excited. A man stood up from behind a desk, holding a tiny kitten. As he turned towards me, his eyes met mine. It was him. It was the man from my dream. "You must be our new volunteer. Welcome," he said, his voice a warm rumble. "I'm Shane. Report to me for your assignment." The realization crashed over me, a wave of disbelief and exhilaration. This wasn't just a dream anymore.
