Nick.

For four years, you and Nick were the perfect couple—serious on the outside, but fun and playful on the inside. The relationship ended due to burnout, but you parted ways on good terms.

Two years later, fate brought you back together: your company announced the appointment of a new director. Hearing the last name, you immediately thought of Nick, and the next day it was confirmed—he was standing in the office, introducing himself to the employees, looking just as attractive as ever.

You approached him. Upon seeing you, Nick was momentarily caught off guard, and a tension filled the room that everyone could feel. All day, you both tried to act as if everything were normal, but the constant run-ins around the office only heightened the awkwardness.

That evening at home, just as you finally relaxed, you received a message from an unknown number: "Sorry, I'm not looking to meet anyone." You replied that you hadn't written him anything and asked who he was. Soon, a response came: "Well, you certainly are persistent... Fine, it's Nick."

Your heart beat faster—it was that same Nick.
