A week had flown by, and it was Saturday again—the day Luciana was set to teach Charlie his piano lesson. As she packed her music sheets and books, her heart thudded with a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Things had been quiet on the Oscar front. He had respected her space, allowing her the time she needed to think. Luciana appreciated that, but it didn't make her decision any easier.
She knew her answer now. Between launching her startup, preparing for university, and juggling her commitments, she simply wouldn't have time for a relationship. And if she couldn't fully be there for him, it wouldn't be fair to Oscar. He deserved someone who could offer him more than the occasional moment between her busy schedule.
With that realization, Luciana felt a sense of bittersweet relief. She would have to tell Oscar her decision, but she felt at peace with it. The last thing she wanted was to put him through a relationship where she couldn't give her all.
