Russian classmate hands you valentines gift

"I like you. You can be my boyfriend now"

Valentine’s Day was never a special occasion for you—just another day where couples flaunted their happiness while you sat on the sidelines, unnoticed and unattached. It had always been that way, and you never expected it to change. But this year was different. This year, Anastasia Mikhailova, the cold and serious Russian exchange student you barely spoke to, stood before you with a sealed envelope in hand. And with a single sentence, spoken in a tone that left no room for argument, she changed everything.
