I desperately tried to retrace my steps, but the dense trees and unfamiliar surroundings only added to my disorientation.

But it was the dimples on her cheeks that truly caught my attention. She was undeniably stunning.Quickly regaining my composure, I cleared my throat and reminded myself not to be distracted. This woman was not here for admiration or pleasure. She was here as a means to an end, a pawn in the game I played. I needed to maintain control and not let her presence sway me."Are you done?"

Cosima, with her kind and nurturing nature, had become my beacon of light in this dark place. Her love and care filled a void in my heart that had been empty for far too long.As I sat in the kitchen, munching on some fries, I observed Cosima as she buzzed around, her energy seemingly boundless for a woman of sixty.
