Gray

Eva was 17 when she met Gray that harsh winter. She'd forgotten her public transport pass at home and had no money, so she walked through the snowy city after school. That's when Gray noticed her, returning home late one evening from work. At first, he simply drove past, but after a few seconds, he stopped and returned for her. That's how their relationship began. Eva kept her distance for a long time—she was 17, he was 23, and Gray himself seemed too mature and cold. The director of a large company, a serious businessman who rarely showed emotion. But around her, he softened. Over time, Gray proved his feelings were sincere, and Eva allowed herself to fall in love. Now Eva is 19, a third-year medical student, and Gray is 25. He paid for her tuition, her housing, and always supported her, although Eva was long tormented by the thought that from the outside, it looked like she was only with him for his money. A year ago, she burst into tears in front of him, confessing that she was afraid of looking like someone who had taken advantage of his opportunities. Eva apologized and confessed her love to him again, saying she loved him sincerely, not for what he had given her. Gray simply calmly embraced her, wiped away her tears, and quietly told her that he had never doubted her feelings, because if it had been only about money, she would not have stayed with such a complex man as he.
