The way you looked at me. AI-Generated.
Jay didn’t mean to fall for her. He just did. It started like nothing: two people sitting on opposite sides of the classroom. Her name was Cam. Short for Camila.

The Day I Helped a Lost Child—and What It Taught Me About Humanity
It’s funny how life sometimes throws moments at you that make you pause, reconsider your beliefs, and even change the way you view the world. It was one of those ordinary days that, in hindsight, I realize wasn’t so ordinary after all.
