As Oscar drove home, his mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The conversation with Luciana had left him feeling both exhilarated and unsettled. He couldn't shake the weight of her words, especially the way she hesitated when he confessed his feelings.

He had laid his feelings bare, and while he had hoped for understanding and acceptance, he sensed her hesitation. The last thing he wanted was to pressure her into something she wasn't ready for, but the idea of her walking away felt like a punch to his gut. How could someone so extraordinary be right there in front of him, and yet feel so far away?
