Her lack of pretense was so appealing
When I lived in a world where genuine connections seemed rare, buried under layers of expectations and superficial facades. Her playful personality lightened me up, and I was drawn to her upbeat attitude despite the hard things she'd endured in her own life.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, I felt like I was turning a corner in my personal life. That after last night withStevie, between our connection and our chemistry, I was ready to open myself up to the possibility of dating seriously again. And not just anyone, but Stevie.
Raven was right. I'd spent the past two years focusing on everything else to the exclusion of my own wants and needs, and maybe it was time to do something that made me happy for a change.
