Our Happily Ever After

It was January 12, 2020, and Tanya was celebrating her birthday weekend at Viva Toro with her friends. The night was vibrant, filled with laughter and music, but everything changed the moment she glanced out the window. There he was—Chris—standing under the lamppost’s glow, surrounded by his friends. The light bathed him in a soft radiance, making him seem almost ethereal. Tanya’s heart skipped a beat. She turned to her friends, her voice tinged with excitement. “I’m going to knock on the window to get his attention.” With a playful smile, she tapped on the glass. One of Chris’s friends noticed and nudged him. He turned, his eyes meeting hers through the window. A smirk curled on his lips as Tanya waved. For a moment, she thought he might come straight to her table when he walked inside, but instead, he returned to his group. She wasn’t upset—it was her birthday, after all. Minutes passed, and then he reappeared, this time with a round of drinks for her table. They introduced themselves, and the night became a blur of laughter and conversation. As the hours melted into the morning light, they found themselves lost in each other's stories. From that magical moment on, they were inseparable. It was as if fate had brought them together under that lamppost's gentle glow nothing could ever dim the spark that ignited the 12 of January.
