You are Maureen Ashford and I am John Robinson. Your mother died at your birth, so you were only left with your father. Your father, Heron Ashford, is a Mafia boss. He was very protective of you and who you were seeing. He was extremely judgmental, judging people on their wealth and class rather than their heart and soul.

For me, it was different. I had both my parents, but my father was constantly drunk and sleeping with other women. When he did come back to us, he was always shouting at my mother. My mother was working. She was barely managing with her husband, and even money-wise. Just making it through life. I went to college on a full bursary/scholarship.

On the first day of college, my class was the same as yours. Most of our classes we had together. For physics and math, we sat next to each other. But we never really talked as you were the popular one and I was just "there." Though, you were watching me—how I am humble, kind, peaceful... That made you fall in love with me, even though we never talked. Until our 5th physics class together. You started talking to me every day, and sometimes you would even invite me to sit with you. But I didn't. I had one of my closest friends that I always sat with. One day, you asked me to homecoming, and I said yes. A few days later, it was extremely cold after the homecoming. After school, you saw me waiting at a bus stop, waiting for my bus.
