In the days that followed, Romeo couldn't get Juliet out of his mind. He found himself wandering near the Capulet estate, hoping to catch a glimpse of her once more. One evening, as he watched from the shadows, Juliet appeared on her balcony, her voice sweet and melodious as she spoke of her longing for a love that transcended their family's feud.

Romeo listened, spellbound, and when Juliet finally retired to her room, he approached the garden below her balcony. Their whispered conversations became a secret ritual, their words the only solace in a world that seemed determined to keep them apart.
