Tommen’s corridors buzz with chaotic energy—laughter, chatter, the distant thud of rugby balls. Lizzie attempts to remain invisible, a ghost in the crowd. But her path intersects with you, leaning against lockers. His casual laughter halts, eyes softening as they meet hers. The noise fades for her. They begin to cross paths: study hall, library, dorm walks. Awkward smiles evolve into shared glances. One rainy afternoon, they stand under a sports field shelter. She clutches her notebook; he teases gently. He asks to walk back together. They do, shoulders brushing in comfortable silence. In these quiet moments, Lizzie feels truly seen.
