Dana's admiration for Chandler grew with every slow-burning flame, igniting with a spark of curiosity and simmering beneath the surface. She orbited him cluelessly, sneaking a glance whenever time allowed, but she was never able to take that leap of exploring him deeper. As she navigated the ups and downs of her last year in high school, their paths continued to cross, each encounter leaving her aching for more. Dana found herself drawn to Chandler's kind heart, while Chandler appeared to keep her at arms length. The tension grew and Dana feared losing the opportunity more than rejection, allowing the palpable force to no longer be ignored. A plan set into action pulled Chandler's eyes away from his destination and directly onto the girl he now realized exist. Time would pass and Dana would find herself getting closer to Chandler's heart that seemed sealed from the public. It was only a matter of time before they surrendered to the inevitable, their connection igniting into a passion that would change the course of their lives forever.
