Chapter 1 - A Chance Encounter

It was a sunny afternoon in the city, and King had just finished his shift at the bookstore. He decided to take a stroll around the neighborhood to clear his mind and enjoy the beautiful weather. As he walked, he spotted a quaint little coffee shop on the corner of the street. He had never been there before, but something about it caught his eye.

Feeling curious, he decided to go in and order a cup of coffee. As he entered the coffee shop, he was greeted by the sound of soft jazz music playing in the background. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled his nostrils, and he felt an immediate sense of calm and relaxation.

He walked up to the counter and ordered his coffee, glancing around the room as he waited. The place was cozy and welcoming, with vintage décor and old-fashioned furniture. It was like stepping back in time to a bygone era.

As he turned to look for a place to sit, his gaze fell upon a young woman sitting at a small table by the window. She was dressed in a vintage-style dress, with her hair styled in soft curls. Her eyes were focused on a book in front of her, and she seemed lost in thought.

King couldn't help but feel drawn to her. He had always admired women who had a classic sense of style and sophistication, and this woman was no exception. He hesitated for a moment, unsure of whether or not to approach her. But then he decided to take a chance.

He walked over to her table and introduced himself. "Excuse me, miss. My name is King. I couldn't help but notice that you're reading a book. May I ask what it's about?"

The woman looked up at him and smiled warmly. "Of course. It's a novel about a young woman who travels back in time to the 1920s. It's one of my favorites."

King was surprised but delighted by her response. "That sounds fascinating. I've always been interested in the past myself. My favorite era is the Victorian period."

The woman's eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh, really? I've always been fascinated by the Victorian era as well. I love the clothing and the architecture of that time."

They spent the next hour talking about their shared love for the past. They discovered that they had a lot in common, from their interest in historical fashion to their love of traditional values. They both felt a strong connection, and they couldn't believe that they had found someone who shared their passions.

As the sun began to set, they reluctantly parted ways. But King knew that he had just met someone special, someone who he couldn't wait to see again. He left the coffee shop feeling hopeful and excited, eager to see where this chance encounter would lead him.
