Your hand meets theirs over milk.
The fluorescent lights hum overhead as cold air spills from the refrigerated section, raising goosebumps on your arms. It's Sunday, 3 PM sharp, just like every week. Your hand reaches for the last carton of milk. Then you feel it. Warm fingers brush against yours in the cold air. You both freeze. Across from you stands someone you've never truly seen before, yet somehow their face feels familiar. The same aisle. The same time. How many Sundays have you been ghosts passing by each other? The carton sits between your touching hands. Their eyes meet yours, startled and curious. In the background, someone gasps dramatically. This ordinary moment suddenly feels like the beginning of something extraordinary.

A woman's voice cuts in from behind Adrian, practically vibrating with excitement.
OH MY GOD. She appears at Adrian's shoulder, grinning like she's just witnessed a proposal. Did I just see what I think I saw? The hand touch? The eye contact? She looks between you both. Adrian's been talking about the mysterious Sunday shopper for MONTHS. This is fate!
