A Chance Encounter Novels & Stories

Maybe it was the shared absurdity of our situation or the possibility of a genuine connection. "Well, it looks like we're stuck with each other for now," I said with a hint of a smirk. Isaac's grin widened, and mischief danced in his eyes. "Seems like it. But who knows? Maybe this crazy encounter will lead to something unexpected." His words hung in the air, tinged with possibility. I found myself contemplating the idea, a flicker of hope lighting up inside me. Maybe, just maybe, this bizarre encounter could be the start of a new chapter in my life, filled with adventure and genuine companionship.

It's high time you meet him and this is for your own good. I knew when he meets him he will definitely know the reason to stop dating his own sister Ella. " Mom, how Sure are you that my dad is here?" He asked " He must be here!....... He must be!" I answered as I continued looking amongst the huge crowds of people. After long hours of searching, I heard someone touching my back softly. I was surprised and slowly started to turn back to see who it was. I was shocked when my eyes met Duke Patrick and his wife Amanda.

A female voice called out and I came face-to-face with Princess Carolyn. She had a suspicious look on her face as she eyed me up and down. “Yes,” I answered in a small voice before I turned away. This was my fault for not checking who was around first! But I was so curious, I couldn't help myself. What if I really did find something interesting? Well, maybe. Maybe it's nothing at all. But I know what I had perceived. It had to be Emily.

The kids’ faces scrunched in confusion. I gave little Ruby the mom's look but of course she intentionally ignored. “Ummmmm… You know how sometimes you're in the right place at the right time and something really cool happens? Like running into your best friend at the park?” Rhett and little Ruby nodded with a smile. Well, sometimes when two people meet, it's like that. They might be in the same place at the same time, either by their will or not their will and something special happens. “Uh huh.” Little Ruby nodded.

Was the Universe trying to play a trick on me? I always laughed at moments like these whenever I read it in novels or watched them in movies. I called them cliche because it was absurd to me that out of the 1 billion people or more on earth, I'll randomly run into someone I saw at a bar two months ago. What were the chances? “Lydiv, did you approve a mute for an interview session for the post of a P.A?” His deep voice brought me out of my thoughts. When he looked at me, there was no hint of recognition like ‘Oh, you are that lady?'

Sometimes, the things you least expect and think are unfortunate turn out to be the ones that add color to your life, just like their love story as a married couple. Their story started with some surprising twists of fate. First, there was an unplanned pregnancy, catching them off guard. Then, one night, they bumped into each other at a bar, two strangers brought together by chance. It was just a quick meeting, but it changed everything for them. At first, their journey seemed random, like a bunch of accidents leading nowhere. But over time, they began to see it differently. They started to believe that maybe there was a bigger plan at work, guiding them along.

I tear myself away from him, seating myself on the other end of the couch "No. No, that's ridiculous. We've known each other for, what, eight days?" "And?" "And- I only know your name because of some insane coincidence at work. We met drunkenly in a bar, this-–" I motion between us. "This isn't a thing." Elliot shrugs, "It doesn't have to be. It doesn't seem like either of us are looking for something serious. And what we have here seems to be a good "arrangement" of sorts. We can just see it as an opportunity to add more to our fun together."

Her lips parted, but it took her a long moment to speak. “You… you’re married? And you have a kid?” I tugged my sleeve free and answered casually, “Yeah. I got married after graduation.” Sadie and I had met through photography. While I was abroad shooting landscapes, I came across her by chance. She had fallen during a hike and tumbled down a slope. The area was remote with no signal, and it took me a lot of effort to pull her back up. While waiting for rescue, she got curious about my past work, and we started talking. To our surprise, we had a lot in common.

Until four months ago. I ran into her again in a different city, on a completely different street. She looked older, but she still had that same ponytail and that same guarded expression. She looked like she didn’t trust the world but was willing to give it a second chance anyway. I followed her for a block, not because I wanted to be a creep, but because I was terrified of losing her again. I was going to speak to her this time. I had the words ready in my throat. But then she turned a corner, stopped, and threw her arms around a woman. She called her "Mom."

Now the three floors are running fantastic. As I stood facing the window that had a beautiful view of the city below I stared at the world around me. It had been five years since I had stood here as young graduate about to embark in my first real job and I took it without looking back. "You came," a smooth voice spoke next to my head "This is to celebrate you, of course I came," I spoke as I turned to see Cameron Tyler the boy that lived next door to us as children. The only friend I made outside of my family had remained friends over the years, even after I went away to school. He was the only person I felt safe with out and about, as I knew that he was aware of what I experienced so it mad
