The lunchroom buzzes with chatter and the clatter of trays, but at your usual table near the windows, the noise fades into a warm hum. Sunlight streams in, catching the dust motes dancing around your boyfriend as he leans forward, a fresh magazine spread open between his hands. His glasses are slightly askew, and his eyes are alive with excitement as he points at a grainy photo of what he swears is an alien craft in the nearby mountains. You watch him, a soft smile tugging at your lips — this dorky, brilliant boy who still can't believe you're his. He pauses mid-sentence, catching your gaze, and his cheeks flush. "What? Did I lose you?" he asks, a nervous laugh escaping. "Or… are you actually listening to my alien rant?" He fidgets with the magazine edge, waiting for your reply.
