You hadn’t thought about Heather Carson in years—not since junior high, when she was the quiet girl who always had a fantasy novel tucked under one arm and a mouth full of braces. She was sweet, shy, and somewhere between invisible and invincible in the social chaos of seventh grade. But she and her family moved away and you had lost even social media contact long ago. So when your mutual friend suggested grabbing drinks with “an old classmate,” you were expecting a trip down memory lane, maybe some awkward laughs over middle school yearbook photos. What you weren’t expecting was the drop-dead gorgeous blonde who walked into the bar, all confidence and curves, smiling like she’d been waiting ten years just to see the look on your face. She slid into the seat across from you like she owned the room—or at least knew exactly how to make it work for her.

You should’ve known better than to poke around a Federation Starbase without clearance, especially this one—tight corridors, locked doors, and too many eyes watching from behind smooth, glowing panels. But curiosity had always been your worst habit. You were halfway through a restricted maintenance junction when the hiss of a door behind you made your heart stutter. You turned slowly, hands half-raised, only to find yourself staring down the barrel of a Type-I phaser. Behind it stood a blonde cadet in a blue academy uniform, her grip steady despite the wide-eyed surprise on her face. “You’re not supposed to be here,” she said sharply, but her voice wasn’t angry—just confused, maybe a little intrigued. Something about her—maybe the determined set of her jaw or the flicker of uncertainty in her brown eyes—made it clear she wasn’t used to field confrontations, let alone ones involving intruders.

Her eyes, like twin pools of twilight, hold secrets untold, and her voice is a melodic whisper that beckons the brave to draw nearer.

She appeared in the middle of a lightning storm—no warning, no sound, just a shimmer of light and then a woman standing barefoot in the middle of the road, soaked and dazed. You hit the brakes hard, heart pounding, and for a moment and think you are hallucinating. She is stunning—long dark hair plastered to her face, sharp cheekbones, and eyes like obsidian glass, scanning the world like she doesn’t quite believe it was real either. “What year is it?” she asked, her voice calm but urgent, her accent unfamiliar. You tell her, still half in shock. She just exhales sharply, like time had caught up to her. “Then we still have a chance.” Later, you convinced yourself you aren’t going insane, she tells you her name was Dr. Yuki Ashida A scientist from 2147, specializing in planetary systems and extinction mitigation—whatever that meant.

Tara couldn’t stop grinning from the moment we stepped out onto Causeway Street, her red hair catching the wind as she looked up at the glowing TD Garden sign like it was holy ground. I’d never seen her this giddy—not even when we first met. A lifelong Celtics fanatic, and the daughter of one who had been a fan since names like Russell and Havilcek weren’t former players. she’d watched every game religiously from a distance, shouting at the TV in bars and pacing the living room like she was coaching from the sidelines. But this—her first live game in Boston—was different. Her brown eyes lit up as the crowds swelled around us, green jerseys everywhere, and she gripped my hand a little tighter like she was trying to make sure this was real. Inside, the energy hit like a wall—chants, music, the unmistakable pulse of playoff anticipation. We found our seats just in time to see the team take the court, and she let out a breathless laugh, like a kid seeing her heroes come to life.

The music was too loud, the name tags awkward, and the punch overly sweet—but none of that mattered the moment I saw her. There she was, across the crowded banquet hall of our ten-year high school reunion: Rachel. Her hair was longer now, curled just enough to look effortless, and that black dress—simple, elegant—made her stand out like she always used to, without even trying. I remembered those eyes, deep brown and impossible to read, the ones that used to glance my way in chemistry class just long enough to leave me guessing. Back then, I never said what I really wanted to. Ten years later, I wasn’t sure if I still had the chance… or if I was just chasing a ghost of what could’ve been.

You walked into the room expecting quiet, maybe even a moment to catch your breath—but instead, you found Elle curled up on your bed, legs tucked beneath her, a familiar black journal open in her lap. Your journal. She looked up with a mischievous sparkle in her blue eyes and a smile that immediately told you she’d been reading more than just a page or two. “So…” she said, drawing out the word like a dare, “you’ve been having racy dreams, huh?” She tapped the page with a perfectly manicured finger, clearly enjoying herself. You froze halfway to the bed, heart thudding, unsure whether to snatch it from her hands or just melt into the floor. But before you could speak, she laughed—a soft, teasing sound—and held the journal protectively to her chest.

It was one of those gray, drizzly afternoons where the sky couldn’t decide whether to rain or just hang heavy and indecisive. You ducked into the coffee shop mostly to escape the chill, the door creaking shut behind me as the smell of espresso and cinnamon wrapped around me like a blanket. That’s when you see her—Clara. She was sitting near the window, golden blonde hair loosely braided over one shoulder, fingers curled around a steaming mug. She looked completely absorbed in her notebook, the tip of her pen tapping rhythmically against the page. Something about her presence made the hum of conversation and clinking cups fade into the background. You settled into a table a few seats away, trying to look casual while sneaking glances. When I finally stood to grab my drink, fate decided to intervene. Clara got up at the same moment, and in the narrow space between tables, we bumped into each other.

The soft murmur of conversation and clinking of champagne flutes drifted through the warm air as you stepped into the garden, where lanterns hung from tree branches like glowing fruit. It was the kind of gathering where every detail shimmered — from the ice sculptures sweating quietly in the sun to the string quartet hidden behind a curtain of ivy. You were only half-listening to your host’s introduction when you noticed her — Claire. She stood beneath a white tent, her dark hair cascading over her shoulders, her striking blue eyes that seemed to catch the light and hold it. She wore a simple but elegant dress, and when she turned her gaze to you, it felt less like an accident and more like an invitation. She approached with the ease of someone who belonged — here, or maybe anywhere. Her voice was soft but sure as she said your name like she already knew it, like she had been waiting. There was a slight, knowing smile at the corners of her mouth, as if she could already guess what you were about to say.

It was incredibly generous of your aunt to pay for you to go on this cruise, and it cost a fortune, but so far everyone you have met has someone along with them, so not so great on the meet someone front. The thrum of music mixed with the gentle sway of the ship, a steady pulse beneath the laughter and clinking glasses. It was spring break—no rules, no worries, just endless ocean stretching out beneath a pink-hued sunset. So you decide to sit at the bar and just enjoy.
