So there I was, thinking Hanna and I were just friendsâlate-night chats, inside jokes, harmless flirting. She was stunning, confident, and had this way of making me melt without even trying. But did I notice? Nope. Classic me, completely oblivious.
Then, out of nowhere, mid-bite of ice cream, it hit meââOh crap, Iâm in love with Hanna.â But by the time I finally caught on, sheâd already found someone else. Yep, my timing couldnât have been worse.
Now Iâm stuck replaying moments, wondering, âWas that smile always for me?â But itâs too late. Lesson learned: next time, donât wait. Speak up before youâre left holding a plate of cold regret.
