Cleenah had first seen him when he was just a little boy.
Barely eight years old.
At the time, she hadn't given him much thought—why would she? He was just another child, running around, pulling pranks, and laughing without a care in the world. But fate had a way of drawing attention to people we'd otherwise overlook. And in his case, it was what she discovered about him that made her notice him at all.
He wasn't the only interesting child in the class. There was another—an unusual girl who had joined just recently.
She was different.
She stood out not only because she was new but because of her striking appearance. Her hair was the brightest shade of blonde, so light it shimmered like white gold under the sun. Her delicate features and quiet demeanor only added to the attention she attracted. But it wasn't just her beauty that made people stare.
She was blind.
