The story begins.

She checked the clock for the tenth time in the last hour. He was supposed to be here by now. She felt a surge of mixed emotions: excitement, apprehension, impatience, curiosity.

They had so much in common: they both loved books, music, movies, and travel. They had exchanged messages, photos, voice notes, and video calls. They had shared their hopes, dreams, fears, and secrets. They had fallen in love, without ever seeing each other in person. She had cleaned her apartment, bought fresh flowers, cooked his favorite meal. She wanted to make a good impression. She wanted him to like her as much as she liked him.

She hoped he would love her for who she was. She heard a knock on the door. Her heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and walked towards the door. She opened it slowly and saw him standing there. He looked exactly like his photos: blond hair, blue eyes, handsome face.

They looked into each other's eyes and felt a spark.
