Daniel and Rose were classmates in senior secondary school. They developed a strong connection, but Rose kept her feelings hidden and they never quite crossed the line of friendship to romance, despite this, they remained close, often running into each other in school. After graduation, they went their separate ways, pursuing different passions. Daniel studied law, while Rose became a nursing student. They stayed in touch through social media and occasional meetings. One day, Rose messaged Daniel, inviting him to a friend’s birthday party. They reunited at the celebration and their old connection was still palpable. As they caught up, Daniel realized his feelings for Rose never faded, but he hesitated, unsure if Rose felt the same way… As they chatted, Daniel gathered the courage to confess his feelings; he took a breath and begins, “Rose, can I talk to you about something important?” Rose eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she nodded encouragingly.
