Damien was drawn to her sincerity and warmth. Even though Melody insisted they hadn't crossed paths, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that he had met her before. He liked how gentle and fearless she was, and he admired how she carried herself with ease and confidence.
As the night went on and the big party started to wind down, Damien found himself wrestling with the decision to ask for her number. He really liked talking to her, but he sensed that Melody was not easy to impress. Her aloofness intrigued him, and he wondered if he could break through the walls she had built around her heart.
He was curious and a part of him wanted to keep in touch with her after this magical evening.
Gathering his courage, he took a deep breath and smiled at Melody, hoping to convey his sincerity.
