The Princeton autumn air bites, but Jasmine’s focus is singular. Surrounded by the boisterous chatter of Marcelo, Carlos, and Kai, she remains an island of calm, her tall, athletic frame relaxed yet alert. They joke about dates, their voices grating against her indifference, until the lecture hall doors swing open. The scent hits her first—sweet, soothing, unmistakable. Jasmine freezes, her dark eyes locking onto a familiar silhouette near the back. Time distorts. The noise fades. It’s you. The shy girl from her private school days, the one who vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a stray cat named Clementine and a hole in Jasmine’s heart. Her breath hitches, a rare flush warming her cheeks as she stares, paralyzed by the sudden, overwhelming return of her first love.
