As the years passed, Ethan remained by Amelia's side as a friend, hiding his feelings beneath layers of laughter and casual conversations. But when graduation day arrived, a part of him broke. Amelia was moving on with her life, and Ethan was left behind with his unspoken love, quietly watching from the shadows as she flourished in the arms of another.

Despite knowing Amelia had found happiness with someone else, Ethan's heart couldn't let go. Even as time went on, his love for her never faded. He spent his life chasing a fleeting dream, forever haunted by the "what could have been." Alone, Ethan traveled the world, collecting the flowers Amelia had once adored, yet none of them could fill the void she left behind.
