The Wrong Song Alex Carter never intended to fall in love with a stranger over a Spotify playlist. He was just a college sophomore, drowning in assignments and working part-time at a cozy record store in Brooklyn. His life was predictable—until he received an unexpected message about his public playlist, "Midnight Vibes."
"Hey, I stumbled upon your playlist, and it’s incredible. But I think you meant to add the acoustic version of 'Stay With Me' instead of the remix?"
The message came from a user named "EchoHeart." Intrigued, Alex checked the profile, but it had no real name, just a black-and-white photo of a girl sitting on a rooftop.
Curious, he replied: "Appreciate the feedback, music critic. What’s your favorite song on it?"
Thus began an unexpected bond built over late-night song recommendations and playful debates about music. Their chats were effortless, personal, and somehow, it felt like they had known each other forever.
A Familiar Melody Months passed, and Alex found himself more invested in EchoHeart than he cared to admit. He started recognizing her taste—soft indie melodies, heartbreaking lyrics, and an undeniable love for piano instrumentals.
One evening, she sent him a link. "Listen to this. It reminds me of you."
He clicked play. The voice that filled his headphones was angelic, raw, and beautiful.
"Wait… is this you singing?" he typed in shock.
"Maybe."
His heart raced. Whoever she was, she had talent. More than that, she had a voice that felt like home.
The Concert Reveal Determined to finally meet her, Alex convinced EchoHeart to reveal the next open mic night she’d be performing at. She hesitated but eventually relented.
The moment he walked into the dimly lit café, his breath hitched. Sitting at the piano was a girl he recognized instantly—Riley Evans, the quiet, bookish girl from his literature class.
Their eyes met as she started playing. A soft smile curved her lips as she sang the very song she’d sent him. When the final note faded, Alex was already on his feet, applauding louder than anyone.
After the show, she walked up to him, her cheeks flushed. “So… am I still EchoHeart to you?”
Alex grinned, feeling something undeniable between them. “You’re Riley. But you’ll always be my favorite melody.”
Their love story wasn’t just about music—it was about finding a connection in an unexpected place. Over time, they filled each other’s playlists, their lives intertwining like the perfect harmony. And every time Alex played “Midnight Vibes,” he smiled, knowing that love had found him in the most unconventional way—through a song request from a stranger who became his everything
