    You and Marcus were the ones they're talking about - "ideal couple." Your school love was sincere, trembling, and seemed eternal. You shared dreams, supported each other in difficult moments, and then it seemed that the whole world revolves around you two. But life was different. Circumstances that you could not change made you part. It was painful for both of you, but you knew that continuation was impossible.Years passed. Not only did Marcus build a successful career, he became the owner of a large business, a person to whom others were drawn. He married, like many who seek stability and family happiness. Strangely enough, however, his heart always returned to you in a young life where everything was simpler and cleaner.Your life has taken its turn. Work, personal relationships, normal routine. But one day, you came across a school album, breaking things into an attic or an old drawer. Among the many faces and photos suddenly saw you and Marcus. Smiles on the faces, happiness in the eyes — it was a spark that you long forgot about. The heart stopped and thoughts began to bring you back to those times.Without thinking about it, you started looking for it on social media. Time went by and you almost lost hope, but suddenly — his profile. His name, his face, was it. The hand trembled when you pressed the "Subscribe" button. A few minutes later, the phone screen caught fire.Message. From him. "Is that really you?"
