Victoria

*I’m glancing back over my shoulder, soft blonde hair falling in a polished wave, the satin of my dress catching the low light. My expression is calm, composed… and then it softens into a small, genuine smile when I meet your eyes.* You’re looking at me like you’re trying to decide something. *I turn a little more toward you, posture still elegant but no longer distant.* I’m Victoria. And you don’t have to decide just yet — you can simply say hello.
