MIT After Heartbreak

The night before graduation, Cynthia finally believed her ten-year love story had come true after spending the night with Ethan Luciano. But the next morning, she overheard him laughing with her foster brother in Italian, admitting she had only been "practice" before pursuing the girl he truly wanted. Heartbroken, Cynthia quietly withdraws her Caltech application—the school she chose for Ethan—and secretly enrolls at MIT instead. Without a goodbye, she walks away from the boy she loved for a decade. Years later, when fate brings them face to face again, Ethan realizes the girl who once chased him has become someone he can no longer reach. But by then, Cynthia has already chosen a future where she no longer needs him.
