He knew he had to apologize, not just for Ethan's sake, but for his own. Taking a deep breath, Tyler knocked on the door. The sound seemed to echo through the hallway, making him feel even more apprehensive. When the door opened, Mira's surprised expression stared back at him. Ethan was sitting on the bed behind her, looking up from his phone. "Tyler, what do you want?" Mira asked, her voice neutral but cautious. Tyler swallowed hard, his throat dry. "I... I came to apologize to Ethan," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Ethan raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Tyler's sudden change of heart. "What makes you think I'd want to talk to you?" he asked, his tone firm but controlled. Tyler took another deep breath before stepping forward. "Look, I was way out of line earlier. I let my emo

CHAPTER 51 The campus was bathed in the soft glow of streetlights, casting a warm ambiance over the lush greenery and modern buildings. Mira and Ethan walked hand in hand, their footsteps synchronized as they strolled through the quiet paths. The evening air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers, and the distant chirping of crickets provided a soothing background melody. They had just left the fountain, where they had made their wishes and sealed their love with a kiss. The world seemed perfect, wrapped in the magic of their reunion. Mira's eyes sparkled as she glanced at Ethan, her heart still fluttering from the romantic moment they shared. Ethan's smile mirrored hers, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he squeezed her hand. They walked in comfortable silence, the only sound being the rustling of leaves and the soft creaking of tree branches.

CHAPTER 50 The door to Mira's dorm slammed shut behind Tyler with a resounding thud, echoing down the empty hallway like a final punctuation to the chaotic scene inside. He clutched his jaw, the sharp sting from Ethan's punch throbbing in rhythm with his bruised ego. Blood still trickled from his split lip, and he wiped it away with the back of his hand, tasting the metallic tang. Outside, the campus was alive with the soft hum of evening activity—students laughing in the quad, the distant strum of a guitar from an open window, the golden hues of sunset casting long shadows across the manicured lawns. Tyler stormed down the path, his dark skin flushed with anger, his mind racing to spin the narrative before anyone could question him. His friends were waiting at their usual spot: a cluster of benches under a sprawling oak tree near the soccer field. There was Jamal, lanky and quick-witted, always ready with a joke; Marcus, built like a linebacker with a protective streak a mile wide;

His blonde hair fell into his eyes as he zipped up his suitcase, heart pounding with anticipation. The distance between them—she at Evergreen University on the east coast, he in their small hometown tying up loose ends—had stretched their love thin, like a thread pulled taut. Late-night video calls and heartfelt texts couldn’t replace the warmth of her touch, the way her laughter made his world brighter. But now, everything was about to change. Ethan had applied to Evergreen in secret, pouring his soul into essays about his love for environmental science, inspired by Mira’s fiery passion for the world’s causes. When the acceptance email arrived two weeks ago, he’d nearly knocked over his laptop in excitement. “Hell yeah,” he’d whispered, fist-pumping the air. This was his chance to close the gap, to surprise Mira and rebuild their life toge
