Chapter 65: Hearts on Fire

[JASMINE – POV]

One year later.

The city lights buzzed outside my college window. New friends. New classes. New life.

But one thing never changed.

Him.

Every Sunday, we talked for hours. Every month, he visited. Every night, I read his texts over and over until I fell asleep smiling.

And tonight, he was waiting outside.

I ran down the steps of my dorm, breath hitching as I saw him.

Lucas.

Still mine.

"Miss me?" he asked, holding out my favorite drink—just like always.

I laughed, wrapping my arms around him. "Like crazy."

He kissed me, not caring who watched. "You know what I realized?"

"What?" I whispered.

"We made it. We actually made it."

[LUCAS – POV]

People said high school love doesn't last. That long-distance is too hard. That time changes everything.

But Jasmine? She was fire. And fire doesn't burn out—it just evolves.

I looked into her eyes, same spark, same girl, and said, "Let's stop surviving and start living. Together."

Her smile said yes before her lips did.

And just like that, we weren't just a senior year spark anymore.

We were a forever flame.
