Senior year arrived as a chaotic storm of deadlines and pressure, yet Eliot moved through it with detached grace. Hoodie pulled low, headphones on, he ignored the whispers of classmates who marveled at his solitude. But he never ignored you. The quiet affection grew—shared notes, saved seats, doodles in margins.

The kiss was sweet, clumsy, and perfectly real.
