Star Crossed Liars

The bustling streets of downtown Seattle were alive with the sounds of cars honking, people chattering, and the faint hum of music from nearby shops. It was a typical Saturday afternoon, and Lily was out running errands when she saw him. It was just a glimpse, but she was struck by his piercing blue eyes and disheveled brown hair. He was tall, lean, and ruggedly handsome, with a look of intense concentration on his face as he made his way down the street.

Lily felt a jolt of electricity run through her body as she watched him disappear into a crowd of people. She had never felt such a strong attraction to anyone before, and she couldn't explain why. She tried to shake off the feeling and continued with her errands, but she couldn't stop thinking about him.

Later that day, Lily found herself at a local café, sipping on a latte and people-watching. She was lost in thought when she heard a voice behind her.

"Excuse me, miss, is this seat taken?"

She turned around to see the same man from earlier, standing there with a charming smile on his face.

"Oh, no, it's not taken," Lily said, trying to hide her surprise.
