A Step Closer (1)

"Eva!"

Under the warm afternoon sun, casting a golden glow over the riverside's green grass, Christian waved and called out a little loudly, his voice carried by the gentle breeze.

To the distance, and the striking figure of the beautiful blonde woman standing beside her sleek, expensive car.

Her stylish top and jeans caught the light perfectly, creating a captivating contrast against the serene backdrop of the river.

Yesterday, Christian, wanting a change of scenery, thought they could take a walk along the riverside and asked Eva, who agreed.

He thought that after they met, they could decide together if they wanted to go somewhere else later. Finding date spots, something that fell under the realm of social interactions, had never been his strong suit, so even planning this much felt like a small achievement worth a bit of self-praise.
