Beauty sat alone on the sofa sipping champagne when a gentle tap on her shoulder made her turn around.
There stood a familiar handsome face.
Samuel arched an eyebrow at her, his sharp canine tooth peeking through a warm smile.
The years seemed to have both changed him and left him untouched, giving her a vague sense of déjà vu.
Memories of their youthful days came flooding back in an instant.
She returned his smile with a radiant one of her own.
"Long time no see.
Never thought we'd meet again at an event like this.
The moment I heard the piano, I knew it had to be you.
You've only grown more brilliant over the years."
"Really?"
He chuckled. "I'd say you're the one who's changed the most.
You've blossomed into such an elegant beauty.
They say girls change dramatically as they grow up, and you're living proof."
Had they crossed paths elsewhere, he might not have recognized her at all.
Time truly worked like magic, transforming people beyond recognition.
