After Oscar left, Luciana found herself smiling, a warm glow filling her. This was different, refreshingly so. Everything about her day with Oscar seemed brighter, lighter than anything she had experienced in her past relationships. There were no heavy expectations, no awkward silences to fill. Instead, there was laughter, easy conversation, and a feeling of being truly seen.
Luciana replayed the moments in her head. She had even offered to take things further, to deepen the physical connection, but Oscar had gently declined. He told her he didn't want to rush, that he valued her too much to push her into anything she wasn't ready for. She was surprised by how much that meant to her. Generally, men would jump onto the women to have sex with her. But this man was just different. The two of them had simply talked, laughed, and shared their thoughts for hours.
