With every passing moment, Ethan's love for Lily deepened, his heart yearning to make their connection everlasting. The impending separation had only served to fuel his determination to solidify their bond before their worlds were temporarily torn apart.

One radiant afternoon, as the sun bathed the school courtyard in a golden glow, Ethan held a single red rose in his trembling hand. His voice, filled with emotion, spilled forth like a gentle melody as he confessed his deepest feelings to Lily. Every word carried the weight of his love and the sincerity of his heart.
