The final weeks of school were bittersweet. Mia and Liam prepared to part ways for summer—she with an art internship in the city, he volunteering abroad.
Though the distance ahead was daunting, they promised to stay connected, their bond strengthened by trust and shared memories.

As they walked away, hearts full of hope, they knew that no matter where life took them, their story was far from over.
