Chapter 1: The Café Encounter

"A Hundred Strangers" is a slow-burn love story about two people who meet by chance but change each other's lives in ways neither expected. She's guarded, used to hiding behind cold sarcasm and distance. He's quiet, thoughtful, and patient enough to see past her walls. As their bond deepens, they learn how to open up, face their pasts, and finally trust in something real. Through quiet conversations, messy emotions, and unexpected joy, they discover that love isn't about perfection-it's about being seen, accepted, and growing together. It's the kind of story that doesn't shout, but lingers with you-soft, honest, and full of heart."
