Ariana Cortez had always been a hopeless romantic. As a successful event planner in her late 20s, she had given up on love, focusing instead on her career and close-knit group of friends. That was until she met Matty Dou.
The stranger, Matty Dou, was a free-spirited artist, known for his breathtaking murals that adorned the city's streets. He had been hired to create a live art installation for the gala, and his infectious laughter immediately put Ariana at ease.
It was a chilly winter evening, and Ariana was coordinating a charity gala at a luxurious venue in downtown Los Angeles. As she was setting up the decorations, she accidentally bumped into a handsome stranger, spilling her cup of coffee all over his crisp white shirt.
