Chapter 1 - Brighton Bliss - A Seaside Stroll.

Strolling along Brighton seafront is a delightful experience. The cool sea breeze gently caresses my face as I soak in the sights and sounds of the vibrant seaside town.
The iconic Brighton Pier stands proudly against the backdrop of the sparkling English Channel, inviting me to explore its colourful arcades and rides.
As I walk along the pebbly beach, I hear the seagulls calling and the waves lapping at the shore.
I pause to take a breath and gaze at the Grand Hotel which stands facing the shoreline, a majestic beacon of elegance, its imposing Victorian architecture exudes grandeur and sophistication, commanding attention by all who pass by it, I am captivated by its charm and timeless beauty. 
Lost in the beauty of my surroundings, I suddenly spot the woman, I secretly admire, approaching. My heart skips a beat as she draws closer, her blond hair gently tousled by the warm breeze, the sunlight dancing in her eyes, and her light blue cotton midi dress, blends with the clear blue sky.
Time stands still as I contemplate whether to make my presence known, or do I just simply bask in the unexpected thrill of seeing her here. The sound of the waves and the bright hot sun provide a soothing backdrop to this unexpected encounter, adding a touch of magic to the air.
My attention is abrubtly diverted by a man carrying a banner, disrupting the moment. The colourful banner flutters in the breeze, momentarily caputuring my gaze and causing a distraction. When I turn back to where the woman was standing, she is nowhere to be seen, disappearing as quickly as she appeared.
The unexpected interruption leaves me feelng a mix of disappointment and curiousity, wondering about what could have been. 
As I watch the man with the banner continue to stride along the seafront, I can't help but feel a sense of missed opportunity, the fleeting encounter with the beautiful woman now a wistful memory.
