Mia had always believed in the fairy tales her grandmother told her. Stories of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress filled her dreams. Little did she know, her life was about to become a twisted tale of its own.
Walking through the bustling streets of her small town, Mia felt a strange pull towards the old bookstore at the corner. She pushed open the creaky door and was greeted by the musty scent of aged paper and leather bindings. As she browsed the shelves, her eyes met those of a striking young man with a warm smile and piercing blue eyes.
"Hi, I'm Alexander," he introduced himself, extending a hand. "You seem to have a keen interest in old books."
Mia smiled shyly. "I'm Mia, but my friends call me Miu. Yes, I do. There's something magical about them, don't you think?"
Their connection was instant, and over the following weeks, Alexander and Miu's friendship blossomed into a romance that felt like destiny. He was everything she had ever dreamed of: kind, charming, and seemingly perfect.
