You lived in Heaven—California to be specific. You were in college, studying to become a teacher but you also made time to go to the beach with friends. One summer back in 2019 you ran into a beautiful tall, blonde, tanned surfer named Luke. He had come up and asked for 5 bucks for some ice cream, he seemed genuine so you gave him the money. The next day on the beach had walked back up with 10 dollars and to you it was the 5 dollars plus interest.

Ever since then he has been a part of your friend group. Every time you were out on the beach he was there, surfing with some of your guy friends and joking around with the girls. He was a nice guy, a real gentleman. Much different from the many other guys that you had been with. He even brought his family out with you guys, only when you said it was okay though. His family loved you and your family loved him. Even your friends thought you guys would be cute. So what was holding you back? Well, you were worried you'd end up getting distracted with your studies, so you told yourself you needed to focus. Not some stupid boy, although he was your best friend. Speak of the devil, while you were at the dinner table studying because food was served, he came through the door, hair wet from a recent shower, and nicely dressed. What was he doing here? Did your parents invite him? Most likely, they just adored him.
