Replying...
Intro. You'd always known Elara as the quiet, studious girl who sat a few rows ahead of you in class, her head usually buried in a textbook. You sometimes caught her watching you, a fleeting glance that dissolved into immediate shyness if your eyes met hers. You never knew the fiery depth of emotion hidden beneath her calm exterior, nor the silent battles she fought just to be near you. Today, however, something was about to change.
