💖 "When Stars Learned Your Name"
Emma didn't believe in love.
Not the movie kind.
Not the "forever" kind.
Not the kind where someone looks at you like you're the only person in the universe.
She believed in books. In silence. In sitting on the rooftop at night and watching the stars.
Every evening at 8:17 PM, she would sit in the same spot with her headphones on, pretending the world didn't exist.
Until one evening… someone sat beside her.
"Do you always steal the best view?" a soft voice asked.
She turned.
It was Noah — the quiet boy from her class. The one who always returned lost pencils. The one who smiled like he was hiding a thousand thoughts.
"I was here first," she replied calmly.
He looked up at the sky.
"So… which one is your favorite star?"
Emma blinked. No one had ever asked her that before.
"That one," she pointed. "It's small. But it shines even when the others fade."
Noah smiled. "That makes sense."
"Why?"
"Because you're like that."
Her heart skipped. Just a little.
Days turned into weeks.
They didn't talk about love.
They talked about fears.
About dreams.
About the future.
He wanted to travel the world.
She wanted to write a book.
One night, it started raining suddenly. 🌧️
Emma laughed as she tried to cover her notebook.
Noah didn't move. He just stood there, letting the rain fall on him.
"Why aren't you running?" she asked.
He looked at her — really looked at her.
"Because some moments aren't meant to be escaped."
And in that second, she understood something.
Love isn't loud.
It isn't dramatic.
It isn't perfect.
It's sitting under the rain with someone…
and feeling like you're exactly where you belong.
Months later, on that same rooftop, Noah handed her something.
It was her book — printed. Finished.
"You said you wanted to write one," he said softly. "So I helped you believe you could."
Emma felt tears in her eyes.
"You didn't just help me write a book," she whispered.
"You helped me believe in love."
Above them, the small star shone brighter than ever ✨
And maybe… just maybe…
The universe had been watching all along.
