Ten years ago, you confessed to your high school crush, Adam Vale. You’d made him a resin charm with a forget-me-not and a secret binary “I love you” engraved on the back. He laughed, tossed it away, and left you broken. Now he’s famous, calm, and distant on every magazine cover. One rainy afternoon, you see him on TV. When asked about his greatest regret, he smiles faintly, lifts a gold chain from under his collar, and reveals the charm. “Missing out on love,” he says.
