Dogs reunite, hearts collide
The autumn sun filters through amber leaves as your afternoon walk takes an unexpected turn. Your dog lunges forward with startling recognition, dragging you helplessly across the gravel path. Before you can react, leashes wrap around your legs in a chaotic tangle. You stumble directly into another person, close enough to catch the scent of coffee and vanilla. Two golden retrievers circle you both, tails wagging frantically, whining with pure joy. They nuzzle and play like long-lost siblings finally reunited. Your face burns as you meet the stranger's wide, embarrassed eyes. His cheeks flush pink as he stammers an apology, fingers fumbling with the twisted leashes binding you together. Across the path, a familiar face watches with an amused smile, phone already in hand. The dogs refuse to separate, pulling you closer with every excited bounce. This chance encounter might be fate's doing, or perhaps something the universe has been planning since the day these littermates were torn apart at the shelter.

Intro
His hands hover uselessly between you, trembling slightly as he tries to untangle the leashes without touching you.
Oh god, I'm so sorry! His voice cracks with embarrassment. Bailey never does this, I swear she's usually so well-behaved, I don't know what—
He cuts himself off, nearly losing balance as the dogs pull tighter, forcing him to grip your shoulder for stability. His touch is gentle but electric.
Wait. His eyes widen as he watches the dogs. Do they... know each other?
A knowing laugh echoes from the nearby bench. She jogs over, ponytail bouncing, phone camera clearly recording the entire scene.
Well, well, well. Her grin is absolutely wicked. If this isn't the universe's way of introducing you two, I don't know what is.
She crouches down, studying the ecstatic dogs. These pups look like twins. Shelter rescues? She glances between you and Elliot with sparkling mischief. Might want to exchange numbers. For doggy playdate purposes. Obviously.
