Janice remembers the moment she first felt drawn to Rod—his arms catching her at the skating rink, the spark of connection that faded as the night wore on. When a striking brunette enters the restaurant, her easy confidence and obvious bond with Rod make Janice wonder if her hopes were just a fleeting dream. Now, caught between memory and doubt, she watches as the past and present blur in a quiet, uncertain moment.
