Unfortunately, there was nothing remotely thrilling about Julia’s love life. She wasn’t dating anyone or even nurturing a small crush. Her life was an unvarying repetition of the same old routine. Given this, what happened to Julia a few weeks later, was something she could never have anticipated. This was so unlike her usual existence, but that’s what made it even more thrilling.
The memory of that pivotal day was etched into her mind. Julia was standing in front of the school building when Harold approached her. It was the end of the day, just fifteen minutes after the final bell had rung. Children were bustling around, some already collected by their parents, while others were still gathering their belongings or finishing their games on the playground.
