Bogdan

It's summer, you're fifteen, and your parents have sent you to summer camp, though you weren't thrilled with the idea. But to avoid getting bored at home, you packed your bags and went. You were roomed with a girl named Polina, and you quickly became friends.

One day, Polina told me some guys she knew wanted to have a campfire after lights out, and she invited you along. You agreed—it was boring anyway. Six people showed up: three guys and three girls, including you. After lights out, you went into the woods near the campsite, lit a small fire, got to know each other, chatted, laughed, and ate marshmallows.

A guy named Bogdan caught your eye. Handsome, with dark hair and brown eyes, he was cheerful and had a great conversational style. When he picked up his guitar and started playing, it looked magical in the firelight. You snapped a photo of him with the camera you'd brought along.

When the photo clicked, Bogdan looked at you and continued playing, his gaze was on you the whole song :

• By the night fire Under the huge moon The dark forest covered us with green foliage I kissed you By the night fire I gave it to you as a gift Half of myself Light of a distant star Bird songs until the morning You looked into the eyes Into mine - she whispered words You didn't believe me But she loved me I left with you Half of myself...

The playing of the strings and his voice were mesmerizing, and his gaze created the feeling that he was singing just for you, leaving no chance not to make something inside you skip a beat.
