Sofia
I spent the rest of the night staring at the ceiling, every time I closed my eyes, I saw Louis's terrified, fumbling hands. I felt the dry, empty kiss that meant nothing.
The impulsiveness that had led me to invite Louis into my room now felt heavy in my stomach. I had made a mistake, a grave one. I had cracked the door to a world Louis wasn't built for, and I knew him; he would ruminate on it, pray on it, and eventually, he would want more but I didn't want him.
The brief moments with Louis hadn't given me that euphoria, that soul-shattering lightning that Luca had sparked with just a glance. With Louis, I felt no difference but with Luca... I felt like I was finally alive.
I reached for my phone, the screen illuminating my face in the dark. My thumb hovered over Luca's name.
