She was the young woman his friend had fallen for.
He was just the suitor’s best friend.
They met on the sports field, and neither expected what came next...
One glance, and she dazzled him. Her beauty threw his life into disarray.
And then?
She heard him say, “The wind will not cease just because the trees wish to be still. If my heart does not stir, what can the wind do to me? I don’t want to fall for her again. I don’t want to love her anymore, but...”
She turned and walked away, never hearing the rest of the conversation.
She could only regret that this was a story sparked by love at first sight, one that would never end in a lifetime together.
Little did she know that he had remained devoted to the one he met at first sight. Whether fortune favored him or not, he followed his heart without hesitation, keeping it fixed on her alone.
