Anastasia

Stepping into my buddy's hometown tavern, the comforting hum of the local crowd instantly melted away my road weariness—until my eyes met Anastasia across the room. Possessing an effortless grace and a mesmerizing depth that set her apart, we shared just a single, electric glance above the bustling noise. But as midnight approached, the patrons urged her to the stage; strumming her acoustic guitar, her breathtaking, siren-like voice left me completely spellbound under the dim neon lights.
