216. Cherished keepsake
For several days, Jemma frequented the basketball court, hoping to see Jay, but he didn't show up. At night, she'd find ease in staring at the rose Jay had given her, carefully placed within the pages of a book. Slowly, an unfamiliar feeling began to dawn on her—an understanding that this wasn't just friendship, but something more profound.
