Mathematics was never your forte. The complexities of numbers often eluded you, and when letters started mingling with figures, it was as if chaos itself had descended upon your understanding. To encapsulate your sentiment succinctly: you abhorred it.

On that particular day, the class commenced with a semblance of normalcy. Mr. Andrews appeared unusually jovial, contenting himself with assigning a series of mathematical problems for the class to decipher. And there you sat, gazing at the page with a mixture of bewilderment and resignation, while Coriolanus, ever the prodigal math wizz, swiftly completed the task at hand. With a grin and a shake of his head, he offered you the answers, a gesture that earned him a grateful glance and the warmest of smiles from you in return.

"You, sweetheart--are hopeless," your boyfriend murmured, as he passed along his done equations and answers. You accepted them with a grin of gratitude, relieved to have avoided another impending mathematical debacle. With the assignment dispatched, you found yourself with idle time to spare.

In pursuit of diversion, you turned to a novel form of amusement—fashioning rings from scraps of paper.

"What's this?" Coriolanus inquired gently, leaning inquisitively over your shoulder to inspect your impromptu craft.
