Ch1: The Greenhouse
Greenhouse, Botanical Gardens☘️
Aria sat on her usual bench, staring at the blank page in her notebook.
Aria Bennett(FL)
*thinking* Three hours
I've been staring at this page for three hours.
Aria Bennett(FL)
*thinking* At this point my notebook deserves an apology.
She scribbled a single sentence.
"The girl opened the door."
Aria Bennett(FL)
*stared at it*
Aria Bennett(FL)
*thinking* Brilliant.
A literary masterpiece.
？？？
You've only been here for two minutes.
Aria nearly dropped her pen.
Aria Bennett(FL)
Excuse me?!
*looked up*
A stranger stood a few feet away, holding a sketchbook beneath one arm.
Dark hair.
Gray eyes.
A calm expression that was almost annoying.
Aria Bennett(FL)
Were you listening to me?
Aria Bennett(FL)
That's creepy.
？？？
You were talking out loud.
Aria Bennett(FL)
Still creepy.
A tiny smile appeared on his face.
He sat on a nearby bench.
Not close enough to be strange.
Not far enough to be accidental.
Aria Bennett(FL)
Who are you?
Aria Bennett(FL)
Wow.
Very detailed answer.
Aria Bennett(FL)
That wasn't a compliment.
Aria Bennett(FL)
*rolled her eyes* 🙄
Aria Bennett(FL)
Do you always bother random people in greenhouses?
？？？
Only the ones arguing with blank notebooks.
Aria Bennett(FL)
I wasn't arguing.
？？？
You looked one sentence away from declaring war.
To her horror, he wasn't wrong.
Aria Bennett(FL)
And what are you doing here?
？？？
Drawing.
*lifted the sketchbook slightly*
Aria Bennett(FL)
That's a strange answer.
For a brief moment, his expression changed.
As if she had said something important without realizing it.
Then it disappeared.
A silence settled between them.
Oddly comfortable.
Not awkward.
Not forced.
Just...
Quiet.
Outside, sunlight filtered through the greenhouse glass.
Inside, neither of them knew that this was the beginning of a story that would stretch across centuries.
Ch2: The Sketchbook
The greenhouse was quieter than usual.
She wasn't expecting to see anyone.
At least, that's what she told herself.
Yet the moment she entered the greenhouse, her eyes automatically searched for a certain dark-haired stranger.
And there he was.
Sitting on the same bench as last week.
Sketchbook in hand.
Completely focused on whatever he was drawing.
A strange feeling of relief settled in her chest.
Before she could question it, the stranger looked up.
Their eyes met.
For a brief second, neither of them looked away.
Then—
Aria Bennett(FL)
You again.
A small smile tugged at his lips
？？？
You sound disappointed.
Aria Bennett(FL)
I sound surprised.
？？？
Fair enough.
*closed his sketchbook and rested it beside him*
For some reason, Aria found herself studying him.
He looked exactly the same as last week.
Calm.
Collected.
Annoyingly mysterious.
As if he belonged somewhere far away from ordinary life.
Aria Bennett(FL)
Do you have a name?
Aria Bennett(FL)
Just Adrian?
Adrian Ashford(ML)
For now.
Aria Bennett(FL)
That sounds suspicious.
Adrian Ashford(ML)
It probably is.
For the first time, Aria laughed.
A genuine laugh this time.
Something about him made it impossible not to.
For a moment, Adrian looked surprised.
As though he hadn't expected her to laugh at all.
The expression disappeared almost instantly.
But she noticed it.
Writers noticed everything.
Aria Bennett(FL)
So what exactly do you do, Adrian?
Adrian Ashford(ML)
That's a complicated question
Aria Bennett(FL)
Most people answer with one word.
Adrian Ashford(ML)
Most people aren't me.
His smile widened slightly.
And for the first time, the greenhouse didn't feel quite so quiet anymore.
Without realizing it, Aria sat down on the bench opposite him.
Neither seemed eager to leave.
Neither seemed bothered by the silence.
Outside, the world continued as normal.
Inside, a friendship was quietly beginning.
One conversation at a time.
