Echoes of Innocence

Chapter 1: Reunion

The university campus bustled with life as students hurried from one class to another. Among the crowd, two figures stood out, walking side by side, lost in conversation. Emma and David, childhood friends reunited by chance in the bustling halls of academia. They had grown up together, inseparable companions until life took them on separate paths.

David was now a devoted husband and father of two, while Emma was married but longing for the pitter-patter of tiny feet in her home. Despite the years apart, their friendship rekindled effortlessly, as if time had stood still.
