My heartbeat quickened, but I steadied myself with a deep breath and met Caden’s intense gaze. “Caden, let’s play a game.”

He raised an eyebrow, momentarily caught off guard. “What kind of game?”

“In this city of romance, let’s see if fate is on our side,” I suggested, pressing my lips together.

Curiosity flickered in his eyes. “And how do we do that?”

“We each walk in opposite directions. If we cross paths again, it means we’re destined to be together,” I explained simply.

Caden pondered for a moment before nodding. “Alright.”

“You go first,” I insisted, wary of any tricks he might pull. I pointed ahead to make sure he followed the rules.

Holding my gaze, he smirked. “I’ll prove fate is on my side.”

As his tall figure gradually faded from view, my emotions churned in a way I couldn’t quite explain.
