📖 Short Story:

🚉 Maya missed her train and sat at the station, frustrated. As she sipped her coffee, a stranger sat beside her—sketching the same forest scene from a dream she had last night. They talked, shared stories, and hours flew by.

That missed train? It led to a friendship—and eventually, a love—that changed her life.

Some missed turns are really just hidden paths. That’s serendipity.
