This story felt like opening a memory you didn’t know you’d tucked away. Jasper’s senior trip to Mexico City is painted with all the excitement of youth: bright streets, historic landmarks, the thrill of being somewhere new. You can almost feel his wide-eyed wonder as he soaks it all in.
What really made my heart ache in the best way was the quiet, unexpected romance. It’s not loud or dramatic, just the kind of tender connection that sneaks up on you, the kind you don’t plan for but suddenly can’t stop thinking about. The way Jasper stumbles into love feels so genuine, hesitant, hopeful, a little shy, yet deeply affecting.
It reminded me of those fleeting moments when you’re young and everything feels heightened: the brush of a hand, the nervous laughter, the possibility hanging in the air. By the end, I wasn’t just smiling at Jasper’s journey, I was remembering my own. As the Leaves Turn Red lingers softly, leaving behind that gentle ache of nostalgia, like the memory of a first crush you’ll never quite forget.
