A Promise to the Sunset

For Avya, surviving college is a daily balancing act. Between the grueling demands of her accountancy major and the exhausting hours of her part-time job, she is constantly on the edge of burnout. Her only true escape is the quiet riverside at dusk, where she watches the sunset and lets the gentle flow of the water wash away her stress.

But her peaceful routine changes when she crosses paths with Liam, a charismatic engineering senior. To Avya, it's just a chance encounter with a kind stranger from another department. To Liam, it's the moment he has been waiting for since high school.

Having secretly harbored a crush on Avya for years, Liam seizes the opportunity to finally step into her life and begins pursuing her. However, Avya's heart is guarded by the sheer weight of her responsibilities. Drowning in schoolwork and work stress, she insists she has no room for romance, choosing to focus solely on keeping her head above water.

Undeterred by her walls, Liam makes a promise: he doesn't need her to rush. He is willing to wait, offering to be the steady anchor that keeps her grounded while she navigates the stormy currents of her youth. As their quiet evenings by the river begin to blur the lines of Avya's strictly structured life, she must decide if she's willing to let someone finally share the burden she's always carried alone.
