Emma couldn't shake off the feeling of excitement as she walked home from the coffee shop. She had exchanged numbers with Jack, and they had made plans to meet up again soon. As she drifted off to sleep that night, she couldn't help but wonder if she had just met someone special.

The next few days were a whirlwind of texts and calls with Jack. They talked about everything and nothing, their conversations flowing effortlessly. Emma found herself opening up to him in ways she never had with anyone before. She felt seen and heard, like he truly understood her.

Their first official date was a nervous affair, but as soon as Emma saw Jack's smiling face, she knew she was in good hands. They went for a walk in the park, enjoying the warm sunshine and each other's company. As they strolled hand in hand, Emma felt a spark of connection she couldn't ignore.

As the days turned into weeks, Emma and Jack's relationship blossomed. They explored the city together, trying new restaurants and visiting local art galleries. Emma felt alive in a way she never had before. She knew she was falling for Jack, hard.

But as their relationship deepened, Emma's fears and doubts began to surface. She had been hurt before, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that she was setting herself up for heartbreak all over again.
