I smiled, taking a seat across from her.
"I see something in you, Mariana. Something you don't see in yourself yet."
She looked confused, her brow furrowing.
"What does that mean?"
"You've been hiding," I said quietly, watching her carefully. "Living a quiet life, pretending to be someone you're not. But you can't hide forever. You're meant for something more."
Her eyes widened at my words, and I could see the conflict in her.
She wanted to deny it, but she couldn't.
She was beginning to understand, even if she didn't want to.
"What if I don't want any of this?" she whispered, her voice barely audible.
I leaned forward, my gaze locking onto hers.
"But you do. That's why you're here."
She didn't respond, but I didn't need her to.
Her presence was enough.
