Chance Encounter: Crafting an Airport Romance
Every Private Encounters story starts with a single spark, and for Chance Encounter, it was this: what happens when a fleeting moment in an airport turns into something unforgettable? I kept picturing two strangers sharing a drink while the world rushes by — how a simple delay could lead to a night that changes everything.
Following Axel and Eric through the terminals of Denver International let me play with tension and possibility. From their first easy conversation to the quiet realization that they might not want the night to end, I loved writing the push and pull of connection when time is running out. Airports are liminal spaces — everyone is between destinations, between lives. That sense of impermanence makes every glance and every word feel electric.
This novella reminded me why I write these stories: to capture the unexpected intersections of desire, choice, and timing. Sometimes the most life-changing encounters happen when you’re just waiting for a flight. Chance Encounter is out now — your boarding pass to a romance that begins at Gate B17. ✈️💙
