Joan felt a rush of nostalgia flipping through her old school album, recalling her dreams and her first crush, Chad.

He had once been the boy she thought she’d spend her life with—until, just before graduation, he suddenly cut her off,

leaving her heartbroken. Twenty years later, as she prepared for her school reunion, those memories resurfaced, filling her with excitement and unease.

At the reunion, Joan laughed with old friends but couldn’t ignore Chad across the room. When fate brought them outside together, she finally asked why

he had vanished. Chad revealed he’d once written her a heartfelt letter asking her out, but when she never came, he assumed she wasn’t interested.

Shocked, Joan realized she had never seen such a letter. Her best friend Lora’s guilty expression gave away the truth—years ago,

out of jealousy, Lora had intercepted the note and lied to them both. That single act had cost Joan decades of unanswered questions.

Though betrayal hurt, relief came with clarity. Joan and Chad shared an emotional moment, realizing they’d

misunderstood each other for years. Under the night sky, Joan found more than closure—she found hope for a new beginning.
