The evening air over the campus turned cooler while it brushed Alex's hair as he walked with his hands shoved deep into his pockets.
Walking right beside him and through the crowds, his adorable girl Alice stayed glued to his arm.
Her small hand gripped his sleeve with a desperate force and her fingers trembled as she feared letting go for even a single second.
She was still that shy girl everyone else saw yet beneath that sweet exterior lay a side her love for him had carved deep into her heart, specifically a side that craved being by his side.
Still every time a student glanced their way, her cheeks flushed a bright and burning pink but she refused to pull away.
Eventually their paths diverged as Alice's girl group called her over and left her to wave goodbye with a look of longing.
