Avanna Loiur, 20, was a brilliant and feisty college student with a passion for technology and social justice. She spent most of her days coding, attending hackathons, and advocating for women's rights in tech. Determined to break barriers for women and marginalized groups in technology, she dreamed of using her talents to make a real difference in the world.
Ethan Thompson, 25, was a rugged and charismatic former Army Ranger turned cybersecurity consultant. With scars that told stories of battles fought and survived, he had a soft spot for protecting the innocent. After leaving the military, he channeled his skills into cybersecurity, earning a reputation as one of the best in the field.
It was at a hackathon that Avanna and Ethan first met. Competing on opposing teams, they couldn't help but notice each other's skill and determination. Avanna admired Ethan's confidence and expertise, while Ethan was captivated by Avanna's intelligence and fiery passion. Despite the rivalry, an undeniable connection formed between them.
As the hackathon progressed, they found themselves working together unexpectedly. Their combined skills—Avanna's tech genius and Ethan's security expertise—proved unstoppable, leading to a surprising victory. But the hackathon was just the beginning.
One evening, working late in Avanna's dorm, Ethan asked what drove her so deeply.
Avanna looked up, her eyes shining with conviction. "I want to make a difference," she said. "To fight for people who don't have the power to fight for themselves."
Ethan was struck by her passion. He'd never met anyone like her—someone so unrelentingly driven and fearless.
As they celebrated their hackathon win, Avanna sensed something was off. Ethan seemed distant, his usual confidence shadowed by unease. When she confronted him, Ethan hesitated, then admitted, "I have a past I'm not proud of. But I'm trying to make amends."
Moved by his honesty, Avanna decided to trust him. Together, they were stronger—ready to face whatever challenges came their way.
