Years had passed, their lives had taken different paths after college, yet fate continued to bring them together in unexpected ways. Though they no longer shared the same academic pursuits, their shared love for volleyball ensured that they often crossed paths at local tournaments and community events.
Despite their continued encounters, Jasmin and John had never been able to bridge the gap that had formed between them. Though they exchanged polite nods and smiles, the words they longed to say to each other remained unspoken.
It was during one such tournament that they found themselves on opposite sides of the net once more. As the final point was scored and the match came to an end, Jasmin and her team made their way off the court, their heads held high despite the defeat.
As Jasmin reached the exit, she felt a presence behind her. Turning around, she found herself face to face with John, a warm smile on his lips.
"Nice game," he said simply, his eyes shining with sincerity.
Jasmin returned the smile, her heart fluttering in her chest. Without a word, she stepped forward and pulled John into a tight embrace. In that moment, they let go of the barriers that had kept them apart for so long, allowing themselves to be swept away by the warmth of each other's embrace.
As they parted ways once more, Jasmin felt a sense of peace wash over her. Though they may have never ended up together, she knew that the bond they shared would always remain. And as she walked away, she couldn't help but smile, knowing that even if the mind forgets, the heart will always remember.
