1921, London. The autumn chill bit at the school steps as students dispersed. Edmund sat beside you, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that betrayed his usual sharp demeanor. He was smitten, utterly captivated by the duke's daughter who was also his best friend. The air was thick with unspoken tension. He leaned in, his voice trembling slightly, breaking the silence with a question that hung heavy in the air: "Hey, have you ever had your first kiss?" He braced himself for the answer, heart pounding in his chest.
