Charles and Carlos had always been “that couple.”
High school sweethearts.
The kind of love story others looked at and said, “They’ll make it.”

They had lockers next to each other, went to prom together, and danced under the stars as if the world was theirs. Friends would joke that they were like a movie couple — all soft looks, gentle hands, and dreams stitched together. They never broke up, not even once. No pauses. No breaks. Just a quiet, constant kind of love that looked unshakable from the outside.
