Valentine

Sienna, a first-year university student, transfers to a new residence midway through the year after a rough start elsewhere. She's quiet, observant, and a bit emotionally guarded-until she meets Cassion, her new residence advisor. He's a fourth-year kinesiology behavioral science major-mature, grounded, and kind in a way that doesn't try too hard.

From the beginning, there's something unspoken between them. Cassion notices her quietness, her thoughtfulness, and offers subtle support-smiles, simple check-ins, small acts of care. Sienna, in turn, begins to feel safe around him. Their connection is slow and careful, almost invisible to others, but deeply real to them.

Despite the RA/resident boundary, feelings begin to grow-softly and respectfully. They don't rush. They don't confess anything prematurely. But there are shared looks, lingering moments, and quiet closeness that builds trust and affection. Eventually, after his role as RA ends and the timing is right, they allow themselves to fully explore what they feel. When Cassion's grandmother passes away, Sienna becomes his emotional anchor, staying by his side through his grief. Though she doesn't attend the funeral, she offers comfort in the ways she knows best-by simply being present.

Their relationship deepens after that. Sienna moves into Cassion's apartment. They learn how to live together-celebrating the quiet joys of domestic life.

Later, they find out they're expecting a baby. From a hesitant beginning to shared lives and a growing family, their journey is one of patience, timing, and choosing each other again and again.
