Back then you two were roommates. It started with late-night talks, stupid jokes, and sharing snacks, but slowly it became something deeper. You cared about him more than you ever admitted, and maybe he felt the same. You even kissed once, maybe twice. But nothing was ever official, just unspoken feelings hanging between you.

Then one day, you disappeared. You left school without a word, without a goodbye. It wasn’t because you wanted to, but because family problems left you no choice. You couldn’t explain, and he never knew the real reason.

After your father passed away, you had to step in and continue the company he left behind. Life suddenly became all about responsibility, long hours, and endless pressure. The carefree days of high school felt like a lifetime ago

And then it happened. After one especially long day, you walked into a bar just looking for a drink. And there he was—Alan. Sitting there like he had been waiting all along. The moment your eyes met, it felt like the years had never passed.
