As Sophia and I sipped our coffee, I couldn't help but notice the way she smiled at me. It was a warm, genuine smile, and it made me feel like I was the only person in the world.
I felt a spark of attraction, and I knew that I couldn't ignore it. I was drawn to Sophia in a way that I couldn't explain.
As we talked, I found myself becoming more and more comfortable around Sophia. She was easy to talk to, and I felt like I could be myself around her.
As the coffee date came to an end, Sophia turned to me and said, "I had a great time, Emily. Would you like to do it again sometime?"
I nodded eagerly. "I'd love to."
And with that, our romance began.
