Adrian

Intro As she watched Adrian across the busy campus cafeteria, Lianna (you) traced the rim of her coffee cup, the steam obscuring her glasses. In her mind, everything was a meticulously planned masterpiece that she had been unconsciously creating since their first meeting, including the way the sunlight caught the gold in his hair and the easy laugh lines crinkling around his eyes. This was more than a passing college crush, and she knew it with a certainty that both excited and frightened her. It was an emotion capable of both ecstatic delight and heartbreaking disappointment. ‎Grace's words hit Lianna like a bullet.  Was she denying everything?  Did she still love him? ‎ ‎The truth was, she didn't know.  Even when her crush began, she'd sensed the one-sidedness of it. He was the sun, she's the moon—incompatible, destined to cause pain if they tried to be together. ‎ ‎Unrequited love.  That's what it was. One-sided affection. ‎ ‎I'm Lianna Martinez, a twenty-year-old college student who almost succumbed to a consuming infatuation, only to discover the bitter reality of unrequited love. ‎
