"How did you meet your first love and end up together?"
The question hung in the air.
Everyone leaned in, eyes bright with curiosity, eager to hear the answer.
Alexander's gaze flickered—
Then, almost instinctively, it landed on Alicia.
Her heart skipped.
The room fell silent.
After a brief pause, Alexander spoke, his tone calm and even.
"We met during a campus event. We had to collaborate on a performance. After the show… we got together."
A soft murmur rippled through the group.
"Was it love that developed during rehearsals?" someone asked eagerly.
Alexander gave a short nod.
"Mm."
So that was how it began.
A strange mix of emotions stirred within Alicia.
College romances…
They were always described as pure. Intense. Unforgettable.
Before she had fallen for Alexander, she had once imagined having a love like that—
Something simple.
Something mutual.
But after falling for him…
That dream had quietly slipped away.
