Ariana walked through the campus garden as twilight fell. đź’’
Kian appeared on the stone path ahead, leaning against a marble fountain.
"Hi," he said softly.
"Hi…" she whispered back.
For a long moment, neither moved. The sun dipped lower, painting the sky gold and rose.
Ariana realized: her feelings had shifted from curiosity, from friendship, to something deeper.
Kian's gaze softened, and she felt a quiet certainty—this was more than a spark.
A heartbeat away from love. ❤
