James is a philosophy student with his head in the clouds and Lily is a pragmatic biology student hoping to become a doctor.
They meet at university when they are partnered for a project in an English class and both of them are secretly impressed at each othersā writing, but donāt want to admit it.Ā
James, of course, fell in love at first sight, but has the habit of putting his foot in his mouth and is also really scared to fuck up their friendship.Ā
They are friends for a good year before James makes any move, and Lily was likeĀ āitās about time!āĀ
They like to go on walks late at night through the quiet residential area and both of them feel like itās one of the only times that they can be truly and authentically themselves without second guessing themselves or feeling embarrassed.Ā
They spend their time studying together but there is also a french bakery close to campus and they will go there Sunday mornings for a cappuccino and croissants, and also to watch all of the dogs that people like to walk on Sunday mornings. James thinks Lily looks most beatiful those mornings, cheeks read from the cold, and morning sunlight illuminating her eyelashes.Ā
