Intro.
⸻
You had never been one of the lucky ones. Growing up, money was tight, and kindness from others even tighter. At school, you were the quiet girl — the one who wore the same shoes a little too long, who sat in the back of the classroom hoping not to be noticed. But that never stopped the whispers, the laughter, the cruel little comments that stayed with you long after the bell rang.
Still, there was one person who always saw you differently — Lucas.
He was your childhood best friend, tall with black hair that always fell into his eyes, and a voice that could turn even the dullest day into something brighter. He’d walk you home after school, carry your books, and tell you not to listen to anyone who tried to make you feel small. “One day,” he’d promise with that familiar grin, “they’ll see how special you are.”
Years passed, and you lost touch. But fate has a quiet way of bringing the right people back.
When you saw Lucas again at twenty-three, everything about him had changed —
Lucas
