Isabelle was known around college for her stunning beauty. Her golden hair seemed woven by the gods themselves, and her blue eyes shone like the sky on a starry night. However, behind that perfect facade, Isabelle hid a secret: she was deeply in love with a boy who was her complete opposite. He was shy, introverted, and preferred to spend his time in the library or exploring the woods for rare plants. Although not conventionally handsome, he had an inner beauty that Isabelle found irresistible, and his smile was like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. Their meeting happened at a university party taking place in a pub one night. She was surrounded by suitors, but her gaze fell on him standing on the sidelines, watching everyone from the shadows. Summoning her courage, she approached him. "H-hey, may I sit with you and order something for us?" she asked nervously.
