37. What is love?

That afternoon, the university cafeteria was buzzing with excitement as students eagerly discussed an upcoming event—the annual Valtrossa University dance. The girls were especially enthusiastic, chatting about princess-like dresses and the perfect makeup to make them look as stunning as possible. Meanwhile, the boys were already competing to invite the most beautiful girls as their dance partners.

As Odel walked into the cafeteria, one of her classmates approached her.

"Odel, wait a moment!" a young man called out.

"Oh, sorry, I don't quite remember your name," Odel admitted.

"I'm Samuel, we're in the same class," he introduced himself.

"Ah, right, Samuel. What's up?"

"How about being my dance partner for the annual ball?" he asked.
