The crackling of the campfire filled the air, punctuated by the occasional pop of a marshmallow bursting open. Danial, usually the picture of stoic concentration during their medical studies, surprised everyone by gazing dreamily into the flames, a half-roasted marshmallow forgotten in his hand.
"Do you believe there's a love story planned for you?" Josh asked, his voice laced with amusement.
Danial met his gaze with a wistful smile. "I want to believe," he admitted.
Danish, his identical twin, couldn't contain his excitement. "Don't tell me, Danial! You have a dream girl! A whole love story in your head, maybe even a novel?" he blurted out, earning a playful nudge in the stomach from Danial.
"Woah, is that true, Danial?" Carl chimed in, his eyebrows raised in disbelief. "We never pegged you for the romantic type. You always keep your distance from girls."
Danial chuckled. "Maybe it's time for a change," he said, finally taking a bite of the charred marshmallow. "I want to have a love story so someday, I can share it with my grandchildren, just like my grandpa did with us."
A comfortable silence settled around the group as they pondered this revelation. They were used to Danial being the quiet and reserved twin. This glimpse into his hidden desires was intriguing.
Jacob, sipping thoughtfully from his coffee, broke the silence. "But wouldn't you need to actually meet girls to have a love story? From where we're standing, you give them a ten-foot pole."
"Funny you should mention that," Levi smirked, "because girls seem to find him anyway."
Danial chuckled again. "My grandparents were a different story," he said, his voice taking on a reminiscent tone. "They had an arranged marriage. My grandpa was told by his parents to get ready for a visit to a relative. Little did he know they were taking him to meet his future wife! They got married that very day."
A wave of awe washed over the group. Danish, however, remained oblivious, focused solely on devouring the last remaining berries before anyone else noticed.
"Whoa, that's intense, man," Josh finally managed, voicing the collective sentiment. "I can't imagine marrying someone I've never met."
Levi echoed the feeling. "What if there's no spark?" he mused.
Carl, ever the pragmatist, added, "Exactly. How can you know if you're attracted to them?"
"It was a different time, of course," Danial explained. "Arranged marriages were quite common back then in my country."
Intrigued, Jacob leaned forward. "So, what happened next?"
Danial took a contemplative sip of his coffee before weaving a tale from his grandfather's past.
"On their wedding night, my grandfather, a shy young man of just twenty-one, was sent to his new bride's chamber. Nervousness gnawed at him. Up until that point,...
