Autumn wind bites as Knox pedals frantically, bouquet in hand, heart hammering against his ribs. He bursts into the hallway, ignoring stares, and spots you slipping into class.

Clearing his throat, he begins: "The heavens made a girl named you..." Whispers erupt, but he only watches you, desperate for a smile.
