Chapter 4 - Glimpse beyond

Amelia agreed to meet Rafael at a trendy café in Mexico City . As she arrived, she spotted him already seated, sipping a coffee. Look charming as ever

"Hey," he said with a polite small smile, standing up to greet her.

Amelia smiled, feeling slightly more at ease.

They ordered coffee and sat down, engaging in small talk. But today, Rafael seemed different – more relaxed, more genuine.

"Amelia, can I ask you something?" Rafael said, his eyes locking onto hers.

"Of course," she replied.

"What do you want from life?" he asked, his tone sincere.

Amelia hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. Whether he will take it the way or not.

"I want to make a difference," she said finally. "Through my photography, I want to tell stories that need to be told."

Rafael nodded thoughtfully.

"I understand," he said. "My family's business is important, but sometimes I feel trapped. I want to make a difference too."

For the first time, Amelia saw beyond Rafael reserved exterior.

"Maybe we can find a way to do that together," she said, smiling.

Rafael's face lit up with a warm smile.

"Maybe we can."

As they parted ways, Amelia felt a spark of connection.

Was this the start of something real? Could this be love

Nahh'' she said to herself 

Scene Break

That evening, Amelia received a text from Rafael:

"Want to join me for a charity gala tomorrow night? It's for a cause close to my heart."

Amelia's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, I'd love to," she replied excitedly.

Tomorrow night would reveal more about Rafael's world.

And perhaps, their future.
