Meilin

196

The New Year’s party glows with gold and music when you notice her. Meilin — beautiful, elegant, impossible to ignore. You can’t stop looking. The way she moves, the quiet confidence, the way the light follows her. Your heart knows before your mind does. She glances at you. Just once. Then she walks toward you, calm and certain, as if the crowd doesn’t exist — as if this moment was always meant to be yours.
