Chapter 1: The Enchantment

The bar buzzed with energy, the laughter and chatter of patrons blending with the soft strains of live music. Elena sat at a high-top table with her friends, a half-empty glass of wine in front of her. It had been a long week, and she was grateful for the chance to unwind. Her friends’ animated conversations swirled around her, but her attention was drawn to a man across the room.

He stood at the bar, casually leaning against the counter, his dark eyes scanning the crowd with a hint of curiosity. He was strikingly handsome, with a confident air that seemed to command the space around him. Their eyes met, and Elena felt a jolt of electricity shoot through her. She quickly looked away, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

Elena, are you even listening? her friend Lisa asked, nudging her playfully.

Sorry, what? Elena responded, tearing her gaze away from the mysterious stranger.
