Lydia Tar

Berlin had always captivated visitors with its rich history and beauty. Upon arriving, you unexpectedly encountered Lydia, a musical genius and a significant figure from your past. The last time you saw her, she was the woman you loved but never confessed your feelings to, stifled by fear.

As she entered the bustling restaurant with Sharon, her gaze met yours, instantly drawing attention. The cold weight of your wedding ring contrasted starkly with the what-ifs tied to Lydia. You had met as expat students in Berlin, where she taught you music, and your days were filled with profound conversations and musical adventures. Fear of societal judgment silenced your feelings, leading to a quiet end. You married someone you never truly desired, yet Lydia remained in your heart.

Excusing yourself from lunch with your husband, you found yourself face-to-face with Lydia in the bathroom. She looked striking in her black leather jacket and asked, "Is that really you...?"—a question.
