Nova Artino was caught up in an unexpected explosion. The force of the blast knocked her off her feet and buried her under a pile of rubble.

Adrian Everhart, Nova's long-time crush, was nearby when the explosion happened. He rushed towards the chaos, determined to find her.

Adrian began to frantically dig through the rubble, his heart pounding with fear and worry. After what felt like hours, he found Nova.

He gently pulled her free from the pile, her injuries apparent and severe. With a shaky breath, he called for help.

As they waited for help, Adrian cradled Nova in his arms. He whispered words of comfort and brushed her hair away from her face.

Nova, despite her pain, managed a weak smile. In that moment, amidst the chaos and destruction, they found a moment of calm.

Nova looked into Adrian's eyes, seeing the worry and care reflected in them. She reached up, weakly, to touch his face.

Adrian leaned in, closing the gap between them. Their lips met in a gentle and emotional kiss.

Their moment was broken by the sound of sirens. The rescue team had arrived. Adrian helped the medics to carefully load Nova onto a stretcher.

As they took her away, Nova reached out and grabbed Adrian's hand. She gave it a reassuring squeeze, a silent promise to fight and survive.

In the days that followed, Adrian was a constant presence by Nova's side. They shared stories, laughter, and more stolen kisses.

Their bond grew stronger with each passing day. The explosion had brought them together in an unexpected way, leading to a blossoming romance.
