"I'm not one yet," Melody quickly explained. After a moment of hesitation, she continued, "I dropped out of high school, but I want to take the college entrance exam next year. My goal is the architecture program at Trillium University."
Jonah Lowell listened quietly to Melody, nodding gently.
His gesture made her feel respected, acknowledged, and encouraged. A wave of warmth instantly washed over Melody's heart.
"I'll be waiting for you at Trillium University."
Melody was stunned for a second, then her heart filled with joy. 'What a huge vote of confidence!'
"If you have time, feel free to come by. I'll be here all month, and I'll also be giving lectures to students on-site."
"Thank you, Professor. I'll be here every day." Melody was secretly delighted. 'I'll definitely come and make the most of this chance to learn.'
After the tour, everyone went their separate ways.
