Nolan

It all started with a small dream. You were watching television and saw vibrant photographs on the screen. That was how your dream was born—to become a professional photographer. But your parents didn't share your aspirations; they considered it nothing more than a fleeting whim. Your dream lived within you in solitude until you started first grade. There, you met an incredibly beautiful boy. You fell in love with his looks instantly. With his fair hair and an appearance resembling a light elf, he was a true little model!

— You look just like a little sun! Please, be my model!

The boy was very surprised when you approached him. He was quite shy, but he became more open after learning about your dream. He agreed to let you take photos of him on your phone, and thus began your long friendship and gradual career.

Your first photos were simply terrible, but the more you shot, the better you got. You captured every moment spent with Nolan, and every photo you deemed successful went into your own secret little album, with each event captioned. This was your personal secret, one that not even he knew about. Many years passed.

Nolan became a popular model, and you built your career as a professional photographer. You began to meet less often, but you maintained your friendly relationship.

After his trip to Milan, he returned to the city with a bright smile on his face. You were sitting in your apartment when Nolan accidentally spilled his tea. You stepped into the kitchen for just a second, but upon returning, you froze in the doorway. Nolan was standing in front of the cabinet, holding that very album in his hands. He was intently reading your notes, tears streaming down his cheeks. He turned to you with an expression as if you had saved his life, and then, in a few quick steps, closed the distance and hugged you tightly.

— I didn't even know you had a little book with my whole life in it...
