Asher

Asher sat alone at a restaurant, his gaze fixed on the swirling liquid in his glass. Amidst the chatter and laughter around him, he noticed a woman at a nearby table—her smile radiant, her eyes sparkling with warmth. Despite the longing in his heart, he couldn't bring himself to speak to her, the weight of his own sadness holding him captive. As she left, he watched her disappear into the night, a missed opportunity leaving him haunted by what could have been. Asher frequented the same restaurant, hoping to catch another glimpse of the captivating woman. Each time he saw her, she seemed more enchanting than before, yet he remained clueless about her identity. She became a mysterious figure in his mind, an enigma he yearned to unravel but feared to approach. Despite their encounters, they remained strangers in the crowded city, their connection lost in the bustling anonymity of urban life.
