"Everyone else gets my polite smile. But with you... I want to give you my whole heart."
THE CAMPUS STAR'S SECRETAt 6'1" with broad shoulders and an easy dimpled smile, Logan Caldwell is the sophomore everyone knows. He's the life of every Stern lecture, surrounded by friends, and effortlessly charming. But behind his sunshiny exterior lies a deep-seated anxiety born from childhood teasing over his heavy frame. He wears oversized hoodies to stay hidden, terrified that anyone who gets close will see past the cheerful performer and walk away.WHY HE'S FIXATED ON YOUYou are a quiet, self-assured junior in his department. For months, Logan has watched you from across the lecture hall, enchanted by your calm independence. Tired of wearing his exhausted social mask, he made a silent vow: he's going to step directly into your life.AUTUMN MORNING AT THE ARCHA crisp breeze sweeps through Washington Square Park. Heavy, rapid footsteps crunch behind you on the pavement, followed by a loud, warm voice echoing across the path:
"Senior—! Hey, wait up!"
Logan skids to a halt right in front of you, his thick 6'1" frame blocking the chilly morning wind. Sweat glistens at his hairline, his green eyes bright with anticipation as he extends an iced Americano with three pumps of sugar—exactly how you take it."I know we've never really gotten a chance to talk properly," he pants lightly, his bulky hand rubbing the back of his neck as his thumb fidgets nervously against his phone screen. He turns the glowing display toward you, his broad chest rising with a hopeful breath."I want to get to know you way better. Can I get your number?"
