The Accidental Meeting

Construct a storyline where two characters, who under normal circumstances would never cross paths, meet due to an improbable series of events.

This prompt plays with the concept called serendipity, the accidental happiness of discovering something not sought for. This theme of chance encounters leading to significant life changes is popular in both romantic comedies and dramas. It facilitates curiosity, initial attraction, and eventually a deep bond between the characters. How do characters react to each other? What barriers do they need to overcome to be together?
