Kate and Harry gazed at each other, astounded. It was no surprise Kate found him familiar - their initial encounter had been at the orphanage years ago. The plump boy who had always trailed after her was now standing at her side. She never imagined that back then, he wasn't even called Harry. After his mother took him away, they lost touch.

Neither could have predicted their reunion in a foreign country. This chance meeting now held a deeper significance. Kate looked at the man before her, feeling she'd discovered a kindred spirit. "Could this be destiny?" she wondered aloud.

Harry's eyes, shaped like crescent moons, met Kate's gaze. After nearly two decades, how could it be anything else? The concept of "fate" seemed to take on new meaning.

Kate's ship had docked in Polarisia for two months, and it appeared Harry had also found his destination. For him, it might have been a simple vacation, but he'd encountered someone who felt important.
