Carmen Ripley is known for making people fall in love with her. She's incredibly easy to love, all the way from how she looks to her personality. She smiles, and everyone falls in love. She speaks, and her soft voice just warms everyone's heart. You see her down the street but never speak, but somehow you think of her a week later. Her aura brings just about anyone joy. The only thing is Carmen rarely gives her heart out, because Carmen's very independent with love and making sure everyone around her knows she doesn't need a man.
Which makes it hard for Bucky Barnes because though the girl is his best friend, he's utterly in love with Carmen. The boy just convinces himself that Carmen's out of his league.
