Noah had always encouraged Scarlett to push her boundaries, to believe in her abilities, and to reach for the stars.
And she did. Scarlett's academic achievements had been nothing short of remarkable. Her knack for numbers and her sharp analytical skills had earned her a reputation as the "finance queen" among their group of friends. Noah couldn't help but beam with pride as he thought about all the accolades she had received.
But it wasn't just her academic prowess that impressed him. Noah had watched Scarlett grow into a compassionate and empathetic individual. She had a natural inclination to help others and had been involved in various charitable initiatives throughout their time together. Her genuine concern for the well-being of those around her had warmed his heart.
Noah's thoughts drifted to their countless adventures, both within the confines of their studies and beyond. They explored new cities and experienced different cultures. The memories of their shared laughter, heartfelt conversations, and even the occasional bickering filled Noah's heart with a sense of fulfillment.
Over the years, she had become an integral part of his life, and he had become fiercely protective of her.
A hint of nostalgia-tinged his thoughts as Noah contemplated the future. He knew that soon Scarlett would spread her wings even further, venturing out into the world beyond her university campus and their house. It was a bittersweet realization, for while he was proud of her accomplishments and excited to see her thrive, a part of him would miss their shared moments.
