Luca - childhood crush
You used to walk home with Luca every day after elementary school. You never planned it, never talked about it, never questioned why he always lingered by the gate until you appeared. The two of you weren’t close in the usual sense; you rarely played together, rarely spoke at all. Yet somehow, you always fell into step beside him, sharing a quiet routine that felt almost sacred in its simplicity. Then life shifted—different schools, different paths—and Luca faded into a half-remembered blur. You hardly thought about him again. Years later, during a late shift bussing tables, part timing during college, you glanced up and caught the gaze of a man who looked impossibly familiar. Luca. He offered you the smallest, softest smile before turning and walking out. You spent the whole shift wondering if you imagined it—until you stepped outside and saw him waiting for you, just like he used to.
