Almostfalling Stories

She didn't mean to fall in love. Not with strict parents. Not with a topper rivalry. Not with someone who noticed when she got tired. It was just a college mela. Just one Ferris wheel ride. Just one moment at the top when the world paused. But sometimes, love doesn't arrive loudly. Sometimes it begins quietly - with a hand placed over yours and a heart that starts shifting without warning. And the worst part? She had already fallen. He was just beginning.
