10,000 miles apart, yet parallel experiences. Both ambitious, self-confident and single. There was one empty seat.
Five minutes into the conversation, he recalls the sadness when it was time to leave, on his first visit to the country in 2009. He didn’t understand, at the time. Five years later, in 2014, work takes him back. He recalls noticing a girl who made his inside feel different. They acknowledged each other. Again, he didn’t understand, at the time. Today, 2016, these two strangers sit next to each other at dinner, each beginning to unravel if the other is THAT person!

The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. From morning until night. Nobody in our little village understood why. Frankly, nobody understood how a Queen could vanish. As in, disappear into thin air... She had many public appearances before her disappearance and was expected to have many more, especially with so many sporting events coming to the country.
