A small collision
in Fitzroy.

We met in 2023 at a tiny café in Fitzroy. James was reading the philosophy of stillness; Sophia spilled her oat latte on the page.

He's still reading the same book. Three years and many bookshops later — in November 2025, on a quiet morning at the lookout above Hepburn Springs — he asked.

She said yes before he finished the question.
