LOVE IN ALDEN
💫 Evelyn Carter > Evelyn Carter had never lived a life of luxury, but she carried herself like she belonged anywhere. Her family wasn't poor - just careful. Every trip, every new dress, every cup of coffee came with a quiet calculation behind it. But she had something money couldn't buy: warmth. Her laughter came easily, her eyes spoke before her lips did, and her kindness wasn't for show. She had the kind of face people trusted - soft eyes, calm features, the quiet beauty of someone who didn't know how lovely she really was. Evelyn was curious, thoughtful, and sometimes overthinking - a dreamer raised to be practical. Her mother was her safe place, her father her wall of rules. And now, with university days ahead and a new city to learn, she was standing somewhere between who she was and who she wanted to be. 💎 Christopher Sterling > Christopher Sterling had never known a life without choices. He was born into marble floors, vintage cars, and expectations that came dressed as politeness. Money had always been there - like the air he breathed - invisible but undeniable. To most people, he looked like the perfect gentleman: confident, charming, and effortlessly put-together. But underneath that practiced smile was a quiet loneliness - the kind that comes when people see your surname before your face. Christopher wasn't arrogant, just detached - too used to getting what he wanted to know what it meant to earn it. Yet when he met someone who wasn't dazzled by his world - someone like Evelyn - it made him question everything he thought he knew about worth, effort, and love. 💞 Together They were opposites in all the right ways - Evelyn, who found beauty in small things, and Christopher, who was surrounded by everything but still searching for something real. She grounded him; he challenged her. And somewhere between their friends circle and university corridors, they would find that love doesn't ask for balance - it creates it.
