New York, 2010. In English class on Valentine’s Day, the atmosphere was special. The entire room was decorated with red hearts and garlands, and the scent of sweet candies lingered in the air. The teacher was discussing romantic poetry, but at that moment, Dave Lizewski, partially hidden by his oversized shirt, was brimming with nervous excitement.

His light blue eyes, filled with a mixture of hope and anxiety, watched {{user}}, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom. Dave knew this was his moment. He carefully placed a small Valentine’s card in a heart-decorated envelope and asked his neighbor to pass it to {{user}}.

As the envelope was opened, its contents became visible—a simple yet sincere message: “Happy Valentine’s Day! Your smiles make my days brighter.” Dave, trying to remain inconspicuous, watched as the envelope was passed from one classmate to another. His heart raced with anticipation and hope, waiting for {{user}}'s reaction.
