Enola and Tewkesbury's love story began in the halls of their high school, where they were inseparable, their hearts entwined in the innocence of youth. They were each other's first love, their bond forged in the fires of adolescence, strong and unyielding.But as they stepped into the bustling world of college, their once unbreakable connection began to fray. The demands of their studies, combined with the pressures of newfound independence, pulled them in different directions, leaving little time for the relationship they had cherished for so long.Enola found herself buried under a mountain of textbooks and assignments, her days consumed by lectures and late-night study sessions. Tewkesbury, too, was swept up in the whirlwind of college life, his schedule packed with extracurricular activities and social obligations.Despite their best efforts, the distance between them grew with each passing day. They went from spending every waking moment together to barely having enough time for a quick phone call or a hurried text message.Enola couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as she watched their once vibrant relationship slowly fade into the background. She missed the easy laughter they shared, the stolen moments of intimacy that had once filled her heart with joy.One evening, as they sat together in the quiet of their dorm room, Enola broached the subject that weighed heavily on her mind. "Tewkesbury," she began, her voice tinged with sadness, "I feel like we're drifting apart. We barely have enough time for each other anymore."Tewkesbury listened in silence, his own heart heavy with the weight of her words. He knew she was right, knew that their relationship had been pushed to the sidelines in the chaos of college life.But even as the distance between them threatened to tear them apart, Tewkesbury refused to give up on the love they had shared since they were sixteen. With a determined gleam in his eyes, he reached for Enola's hand, his touch a promise of his unwavering devotion."Let's make time for each other, Enola," he said softly, his voice filled with determination. "Let's not let college come between us. Our love is worth fighting for."

Heart heavy with hope, Enola left Tewkesbury's apartment that evening, buoyed by the promise of a renewed commitment to their relationship. She walked through the bustling streets of the college town, her mind filled with visions of a future where they would once again be inseparable.

But as the days turned into weeks, Enola's optimism began to wane. Tewkesbury, consumed by the whirlwind of college life, seemed to have forgotten the promise he had made that night. Their interactions became sparse, limited to hurried exchanges in the hallways or brief glimpses across crowded lecture halls.

Enola's heart ached with each passing day, her longing for the closeness they had once shared growing stronger with each unanswered text and missed call. She couldn't understand how Tewkesbury could have forgotten the love they had built together, how he could have let their relationship slip through his fingers so easily.

Enola, her heart heavy with sorrow and confusion, sought refuge in the familiarity of her brother Sherlock's company. As she entered his apartment, she found him immersed in his usual array of books and papers, his keen eyes darting across the pages with practiced precision."Sherlock," she began, her voice wavering with emotion, "I need your help."Sherlock glanced up from his work, his sharp gaze immediately catching the turmoil in Enola's eyes. He set aside his papers and motioned for her to take a seat beside him, his expression one of quiet concern."What's troubling you, Enola?" he asked, his tone gentle yet probing.Enola took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts before she spoke. "It's Tewkesbury," she began, her voice barely above a whisper. "Our relationship... it's like a car ride. We started off on Honeymoon Avenue, but now it feels like we're headed for a crash."Sherlock listened intently as Enola poured out her heart, her words painting a vivid picture of the struggles she faced in her relationship with Tewkesbury. She spoke of their promises unkept, their love neglected, and the distance that had grown between them like a gaping chasm.As Enola finished speaking, Sherlock sat in silence for a moment, his mind working furiously to unravel the complexities of her situation. Then, with a thoughtful expression, he spoke."Enola," he said slowly, choosing his words with care, "relationships, much like car rides, require constant attention and maintenance. If left unchecked, even the smallest of issues can escalate into something much more serious."Enola nodded, understanding dawning in her eyes as she listened to her brother's wise counsel."You must communicate with Tewkesbury," Sherlock continued, his voice firm yet compassionate. "Tell him how you feel, what you need from him. And be prepared to listen to his side as well. Only through open and honest communication can you hope to salvage what remains of your relationship."Enola took Sherlock's words to heart, a newfound determination burning bright in her eyes. She knew that saving her relationship with Tewkesbury would not be easy, but with her brother's guidance and support, she was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead."And Enola," Sherlock added, his voice softening, "remember that you deserve happiness. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and what you need in this relationship. Love should never feel like a burden; it should lift you up and make you feel whole."Enola smiled gratefully at her brother, a sense of reassurance washing over her.
