To be honest, I was caught off guard in that moment.
Because I hadn’t expected that Noah Carter’s gathering would also be at this same restaurant.
When I first saw Viola, she was just as excited as she had sounded on the phone.
Before I could even react, she had already rushed over and pulled me into a hug so tight, I almost lost my balance.
“Oh my god, Mint, I’ve missed you so much!”
She beamed at me, eyes sparkling, cheeks flushed with excitement.
Her personality hadn’t changed at all since high school–still lively, warm, and completely unfiltered,
She looped her arm through mine, chatting nonstop as she led me through the crowd.
She talked about how she had just started an internship at a film company in New York. It was exhausting, but she felt fulfilled every single day.
She brought up funny memories from high school–who got into which college, who got married, who already had kids old enough to run errands.
And I just quietly listened.
Until she suddenly said, “Did you know? Back then, when you didn’t go to Harvard, our homeroom teacher was so disappointed,”
“Even after you left the country, he still talks about you to the students in the years below. Says you’re the most gifted student he’s ever taught.”
She paused, and her tone shifted slightly.
“Sigh… you, too. I mean… it was just Noah Carter. Was it really worth it?”
Her words trailed off. And so did her footsteps.
I had been lost in her chatter and my own thoughts, so I didn’t realize what had happened at first–until she suddenly stopped.
I looked up, and sure enough–there he was.
Noah.
He stood just a few steps away, a beer in hand, tilting his head as he spoke to someone. Then, as if sensing our gaze, he turned abruptly.
Our eyes met across the distance.
Time froze.

For a heartbeat, neither of us moved.
The glass nearly slipped from his fingers.
