Meet Cute is an anthology born from those in-between moments – the ones that arrive unannounced and leave you slightly changed. We’re looking for writing that captures the precise, unrepeatable instance when two strangers become something else entirely. Not the love story itself, but the breath right before it begins. If you’ve ever felt your heart pause at a coincidence too strange to ignore, this is your space to write it into existence.
