As weeks folded into months, their lives grew intricately intertwined. Late-night conversations became a ritual, their dreams and fears melding in the shared quiet of the evening. The library, once a place of solitude for Jaja, transformed into a haven of joint exploration with Luke. Their walks through the campus gardens became a sanctuary for whispered secrets and unspoken comfort.

Luke: “Why do you always seem so distant?”  

Jaja: “It's not you. It's just... life has been tough lately.”  

Luke: “You know, if you ever need someone to talk to, I’m here for you.”

Luke’s presence became a pillar of stability for Jaja. In turn, Jaja’s growing affection for Luke helped him navigate the pressures of his athletic career. At his basketball games, she was his most ardent supporter, cheering from the sidelines with an enthusiasm that belied her personal struggles.

During a particularly intense game, Jaja, amidst a sea of cheering fans, screamed herself hoarse, her voice rising above the crowd. 

Jaja: “Come on, Luke! You’ve got this! Push through!”

Luke, spotting Jaja’s fervent support, managed a quick, appreciative glance. The energy from the stands, especially from Jaja, fueled his performance on the court. Her presence, a constant source of motivation, brought a sense of normalcy to his otherwise turbulent life.
