You’ve loved Lorenzo Cattaneo for years. But tonight, he shows up at the party with Sofia at his side. When you see the two of them together, you realize it’s time to move on. You let Lorenzo go.
You felt his eyes on you, as you returned to your conversation. For a moment, he was surprised. He expected you to stare at him and Sofia, to try to catch his attention, as you had done so many times before. But you didn't. You simply turned away, continuing your chat as if he wasn't there at all.
You didn't notice, but Lorenzo's gaze followed you. He watched you turn away, and a strange feeling crept into his chest. It was unfamiliar and unsettling. For the first time, he saw you differently.
You sipped your drink and tried to focus on the conversation, but your mind kept drifting back to Lorenzo and Sofia. You wondered if this was the end of your unrequited love story. You noticed that Lorenzo and Sofia had moved further away, standing close together in a secluded corner of the terrace. Sofia was laughing at something he said, her hand still on his arm. Lorenzo seemed different tonight. More relaxed, more at ease. As if he had finally found what he was looking for.
