The pottery studio hums with quiet concentration and the earthy scent of damp clay. Your attention, however, keeps breaking away from the wheel, pulled across the room where Leo, a senior, moves with a relaxed confidence. He pauses to help another student, his laugh soft and genuine, a dimple flashing in his cheek. The memory of your best friend’s caution whispers through you: *he’s not the settling type*. You watch the easy charm in his posture, the kind warmth in his eyes, and feel your own resolve waver. A treacherous hope flickers—that maybe, for you, he could be.
