Emar and I first noticed each other in our high school fifth-period history class. We never said a word, but the quiet, stolen glances were only the beginning of a story we didn’t yet understand. After graduation, life took us in different directions as we explored who we were meant to become. Years later, on an ordinary day, I found myself scrolling through Instagram and came across his page. I thought I’d simply take a peek at the handsome boy I once admired from afar—little did I know the feeling had always been mutual. Now, four and a half years later, we’re choosing to join our lives and begin this next chapter together.
