Once upon a time, in a bustling university campus, there was a young man named Jack. Jack was a 21-year-old student studying mechanical engineering and was known among his peers for his sharp mind and practical approach to life. Despite his busy schedule and demanding coursework, Jack always had time for the things that mattered to him, such as playing soccer with friends and volunteering at a local orphanage on the weekends.

One day, while grabbing a quick bite to eat between classes, Jack's life changed forever. As he was walking to his usual table in the cafeteria, he saw her. A young woman with long, curly brown hair, sparkling green eyes, and a smile that lit up the room. Jack was struck by her beauty and grace and felt an immediate connection to her. He couldn't take his eyes off her, even as she sat down with a group of friends at a table across the room.

The young woman was Sarah, a 23-year-old business administration student. Jack soon learned that she was in a completely different program, but that didn't stop him from trying to get to know her. Every chance he got, Jack found himself near Sarah, striking up conversations about anything and everything. They quickly became friends and spent more and more time together.

However, Jack didn't know that Sarah was actually three years older than he was. Sarah had told Jack that she was 20 years old, not wanting him to be intimidated by her age. Jack was completely unaware of this and was falling deeper in love with her every day.

One day, Sarah broke up with Jack, stating that she didn't want to be in a relationship right now. Jack was heartbroken. He couldn't understand why Sarah would end things between them when they had such a strong connection.

However, Sarah soon realized that she couldn't bear to be apart from Jack any longer. She confessed to him that she was actually 23 years old, and that she had lied about her age because she was afraid of what he might think. Jack was shocked at first, but he soon realized that Sarah's age didn't matter to him. He loved her for who she was, not for how old she was.

With this newfound knowledge, Jack and Sarah got back together, stronger and more in love than ever before. They both graduated from university and went on to successful careers, but their love for each other never faded. They remained together for the rest of their lives, proving that age is just a number and that true love knows no bounds.

The couple often walked hand in hand around the lush, green campus, taking in the beautiful scenery and enjoying each other's company. The sun would set, casting a warm golden light over the buildings, and Jack and Sarah would share a kiss under a tree, surrounded by the sweet scent of blooming flowers. It was a picture-perfect scene, and one that they would always treasure.

And so, Jack and Sarah's love story became a testament to the power of first impressions, to the strength of true love, and to the idea that, sometimes, what you first see is what you get: a love that will last a lifetime.
