> My Heart
By ROMOBUS

Calvin and Daisy were more than just classmates—they were two hearts quietly drawn together by something deeper than friendship. Amid lecture halls and late-night study sessions, love quietly bloomed. Calvin, the calm and gentle soul, found his match in Daisy, a brilliant and guarded woman not easily swayed by charm.

But when emotions run high and unspoken fears rise to the surface, their bond is tested by the very thing that brought them together—vulnerability. As doubts creep in and decisions loom, Calvin and Daisy must decide: is love enough to quiet the voices of insecurity, or will fear tear apart what fate has built?

In a world where hearts are often broken before they are truly known, My Heart is a tender, modern love story about trust, timing, and the courage to fall—completely.

Chapter 42: Old Shoes and New Truths

Ezra's room still smelled like old sneakers, incense, and something faintly citrusy. A mess of books and half-sketched artwork littered his desk. She sat cross-legged on his bed, picking at the frayed edge of a pillow.

Ezra didn't look up from his sketchbook. "Your boyfriend's mom?"

"She's not my boyfriend's mom. Calvin isn't—" She stopped.

"Fine. Your project partner's mom," he said. "What did she do?"

"It wasn't that," Daisy said. "It was that she didn't do anything. Not a smile, not a frown. Just... nothing."

Ezra closed his sketchbook. "So you wanted her to react?"

"Because that would've made you feel seen. Even if it was judgment?"

He leaned back, arms crossed behind his head. "You want my opinion?"

"She doesn't scare me, Dee. But you do."

"Because you're braver than you think. But you keep waiting for someone else to tell you it's okay to feel things."

She looked down at her hands. "What if I mess it up?"

Ezra smiled softly. "Then you'll figure it out. That's what people who love you do."

And for the first time in a long time, Daisy let herself believe it.
