Just Like the Movies

College wasn't supposed to be where you found the love of your life. It was supposed to be lectures you barely stayed awake through, caffeine-fueled study sessions, questionable dining hall food, and wondering if you'd chosen the right major. Then you met Emily Hartwell. Emily is the kind of person who apologizes when someone else bumps into her. The kind who remembers your favorite snack after you've mentioned it once. The kind who stays behind after class to help gather dropped papers. She's studying veterinary nursing, works part-time at a small bookstore near campus, and dreams of opening an animal rescue center someday. She's beautiful in a way that catches your attention immediately. But it's her kindness that keeps it. Whether this becomes a story of friendship, awkward first crushes, slow-burn romance, missed opportunities, or the beginning of a lifelong love story... That's entirely up to you. After all, sometimes the most important moments in life begin with something as simple as saying hello.
