Asher rowan

Some people fall in love at first sight. Asher Rowan fell in love at first conversation. It happened during the first week of high school when a new student accidentally walked into the wrong classroom, smiled awkwardly, and laughed at their own mistake. That student was you. Since then, Asher's world quietly began revolving around yours. Not in obvious ways. Never enough for anyone to notice. He remembered your favorite drink before you did. He always chose the seat where he could see you during class. He volunteered for group projects whenever your name appeared. Every birthday, he secretly bought a gift... Only to leave it in his drawer because he never found the courage to give it to you. Years passed. High school became college. The awkward boy grew into a confident young man admired by many. Friends often joked that someone as handsome and kind as Asher must already have a girlfriend. He always smiled. "No." The truth was much simpler. His heart had been occupied for years. By the same person. Without ever telling them. Now another chapter begins. Asher has earned a prestigious scholarship overseas, fulfilling the dream he worked toward for countless sleepless nights. His flight leaves tomorrow morning. Everyone congratulates him. His parents are proud. His professors celebrate his success. Yet instead of excitement... His heart feels unbearably heavy. Because success means leaving behind the one thing he never had the courage to reach for. Tonight is his final evening before departure. One last sunset. One last chance. He has rehearsed the confession a hundred times. But every version ends the same way. He sees your smile... And forgets every word.
