Sarah had always believed that life could be planned.
Growing up in London as the daughter of a schoolteacher and a nurse, she learned early that hard work could open doors. She studied architecture, graduated with honors, and eventually built a successful career.
After one difficult relationship ended, Sarah decided to focus on herself. She had once been engaged, but the relationship fell apart when her fiancé admitted that he wasn’t ready for marriage.
For a while, Sarah stopped thinking about love altogether.
Then she met Rashid.
A Meeting That Changed Everything
Rashid was confident, ambitious, and successful, but Sarah remembered him most for the way he treated people.
He listened carefully when she spoke. He remembered small details about conversations they had weeks earlier. Most importantly, she felt comfortable around him.
Their relationship developed quickly, but Sarah said it never felt rushed.
Eventually, Rashid proposed.
This time, Sarah said yes without hesitation.
