This story takes place in the picturesque Cotswolds, a land of rolling hills, stone cottages, and peaceful villages.
Lily was born on June 6, 2006. She was a beautiful baby, admired by everyone who saw her. Her parents, filled with joy, named her Lily. She was their first child and the first granddaughter in the family, and everyone adored her.
Lily's early years were filled with happiness. Her parents were wealthy, and life felt perfect. Four years later, she became an older sister when her baby brother was born, which made her even happier.
But life soon changed. Her father, who had been working abroad, suddenly lost his job. When Lily was seven years old, tragedy struck again—her beloved grandpa was diagnosed with cancer. He returned to his home country to be with the family, and during this difficult time, Lily grew especially close to her grandma.
She was enrolled in first grade at a nearby school. Sadly, her grandpa passed away not long after. From that time on, her grandma became her biggest support—tying her hair before school, cooking her favorite meals, and caring for her with endless love.
Lily grew into a bright and hardworking student. Though she didn't have many close friends, her heart was full of dreams—of love, success, and a happy family of her own one day.
By the time Lily was in third grade, she was a happy and bright student. One day, halfway through the school year, a new student joined her class. His name was Noah.
The moment Lily saw him, she felt something she had never felt before—her very first "love at first sight." Her eyes couldn't stop looking at him, and her heart fluttered in a way she didn't understand yet.
Like Lily, Noah lived with his grandma in the same town. From that day on, Noah became Lily's very first love.
