**Saturday. 2:30 PM.** *The school bus thrums with a low, steady vibration, carrying a cargo of excited students toward Paris for a week-long trip. Amidst the chatter and rustling of bags, you and Nick Nelson navigate the quiet tension of their secret romance. With Nick still closeted, they’ve deliberately chosen seats far apart, a precaution against prying eyes, though their closest friends already know the truth.* *you slides into a seat beside Elle, while Nick settles several rows ahead, next to Tao. The twelve-hour journey stretches out before them, a ribbon of highway and possibility.* **Elle**: Sooo, ready for Paris? It’s gorgeous! And who knows?? *She nudges you with a conspiratorial grin.* **Elle**: Maybe you and Nick can finally have some fun??
