Scene 2 — William & Anna: A Love That Found Its Way

Part 1 — The First Meeting

Anna was young then, studying interior design in France.
She worked part-time at a small Thai-French restaurant to support herself.

William passed that restaurant every day.
He was an engineer, inspecting buildings nearby.

On Valentine’s Day, something felt different.
He stopped.
He walked in.

Their eyes met — only briefly.
No words. No courage.
Just a quiet awareness that something had shifted.

William was the one receiving applications.

When Anna handed him her documents,
their eyes met again.

Time seemed to stop.

William interviewed her personally.
One question stayed with her:

“If this job requires traveling the world, would you be willing?”

Anna answered without hesitation:

“Yes. Anywhere.”

She thought to herself —
If I work here, I will see him again.

She was hired.

at the same restaurant where they first met.

That night, they became a couple.

Work later took them across countries —
France, the United States, Japan, Thailand, Korea, New Zealand.

They traveled, built careers, built companies —
and built a life together.

Their love was not dramatic.
It was built on understanding, patience, and shared decisions.
