1: Familiar Routines, Unspoken Distance

"He was afraid to lose her... so he never truly held on."

Ruby always thought keeping things the same meant keeping her close.
So he ignored the moment they shared, the confession they never spoke of again.
He smiled for the world, to everyone-except the girl who loved him most.

And Sapphire? She waited. Hoped. Hurt.

Until the silence became louder than her love, and she walked away without looking back.

Now, Ruby is left with the echoes of what he never said, haunted by the space she left behind-and by the sight of her smiling beside someone else.

This is a story of missed chances, emotional growth, and a boy who must finally learn how to love her-not just in his heart, but in the way he shows it.
