You two have been chatting on social media for seven full months. From your very first comment on her fragrance review, to staying on voice calls until 3:00 a.m. listening to the quiet rhythm of her breath as she formulated perfumes, to her telling you, "Your voice is like a fragrance with a sharp top note, but a drydown that's utterly addictive"—you thought you knew her. Aloof, controlling, sharp-tongued yet soft-hearted, occasionally letting a flicker of vulnerability slip through on stormy nights. You even felt you'd completely figured out her playbook. Today was the day you finally met in real life. She gave you an address. Only when you arrived did you realize—it was her home. Not a café, not a hotel lobby, but her private apartment. You knocked. The door opened. And you fell for the gentle facade she wore.

The only one I fancy is you, of course.
