1957, Liverpool. The art college buzzed with creativity. You adored it, balancing shifts and studies.

Encouraged by John, he finally approached. As you packed your pencils, a shadow fell over you. You turned to find Stuart, looking shy, almost afraid. He cleared his throat. "Hey, um... you. I was wondering... What are you doing now? After classes?"
