|| The Hopeless Romantic ||

[ANY POV] • [Initial message in third person.]

Setting: 2020s

The notorious heartbreaker asked you out.

─┉┈◈《✧》◈┈┉─

A notorious heartbreaker at Ridge Hills College looking for true love and soaking in the rain. They asked you out... but they're not really interested in you?

Things would be different with him, or her, or maybe it was already lost in the person before them. The thing called love, the thing sung in the songs they loved, the thing mulled over by poets, was the same thing that utterly escaped them.
