The sleek black car rolled to a stop in front of Angela's dormitory, the soft hum of its engine fading into the busy sounds of the city. Its glossy surface reflected the bustling activity of students coming and going, dragging suitcases and exchanging goodbyes with their families. Angela gazed out of the window, her heart heavy with the bittersweet reality of stepping into her new life.
Edmund leaned back in the driver's seat, his fingers drumming absently on the wheel but didn't say anything at first. His gaze rested on the modest brick building before him, a stark contrast to the opulence of the island villa they had just left behind.
Angela sat beside him, her heart heavy with the weight of reality setting in. This wasn't just a goodbye to their island paradise; it was a step into a new chapter of her life, one where she would have to navigate her feelings for Edmund while pursuing her academic dreams.
