They thought that their unexpected encounter was an isolated incident. However, fate had something else in mind, as they find their way back in each other’s arms, not in a passionate embrace but with a contract that would bind them for a long time.

She was about to inform him that her flight had been delayed. She was supposed to arrive in an hour. Then, he was picking her up at the airport. But her words were lost when he started talking.
