work and was ready for a quiet evening in her Paris apartment. The city had a way of feeling both too loud and too quiet at once, and lately, she found herself struggling to find a balance. She poured herself a glass of wine, the amber liquid a comforting presence in her hand as she sat down on the couch. Her phone buzzed with a message.
Franco: Surprise. I'll be there in 10 minutes.
Angelys froze for a moment. Franco? She hadn't expected him tonight—didn't even know he was planning to come to Paris. Her mind raced as she quickly typed back a reply.
Angelys: Wait, you're here already?
Before she could second-guess herself, there was a soft knock at the door.
Her heart skipped, and she rushed to open it, finding Franco standing in the hallway with a small bouquet of white lilies in hand. The sight of him took her by surprise, but his warm, genuine smile made her feel a wave of relief.
"I—Franco, I didn't expect you," she said softly, a little breathless, her eyes taking in the gesture.
Franco's expression softened. "I know you didn't. But I thought you might need someone to remind you that you're not alone. That you deserve more than just work and the constant pressure."
His words hit her harder than she expected. Without saying anything more, he stepped forward and gently wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a warm hug. Angelys felt the weight she had been carrying lift just slightly, his embrace a quiet comfort.
She hadn't realized how much she needed it until that moment. The world outside, her public life, the pressures—all of it had felt suffocating. But here, with him, in this small moment of softness, it felt like it was okay to breathe again.
Franco held her for a little longer than she expected, as though he knew exactly how hard she'd been pushing herself. "I'm here," he murmured, his voice low and steady. "And I'm not going anywhere."
Angelys let herself stay in his arms for a moment longer, letting his warmth ground her. Finally, she pulled away, looking up at him with gratitude in her eyes. "Thank you," she whispered. "I've been feeling... overwhelmed. It's hard to keep pretending everything's fine."
"I know," Franco said softly, his gaze never leaving hers. "But you don't have to pretend with me."
She smiled, wiping away the sudden threat of tears that had stung her eyes. "I didn't know I needed this until now."
Franco smiled, a quiet but knowing expression. "I figured as much. So, what do you say? How about we take a break from the world for a bit?"
Angelys nodded, feeling a sense of relief she hadn't allowed herself to feel in weeks. "Yeah. Let's do that."
They spent the rest of the evening in the quiet of her apartment, just talking—about everything and nothing. It was easy, comfortable. Franco had a way of making her feel like she could let her guard down without judgment. It was rare, and it felt real. She wasn't the famous model; she was just Angelys, sharing a moment with someone who genuinely cared.
As the night wound down and they stood at the door, ready to say goodnight, Franco reached for her hand and pulled her into one last hug. It was soft and intimate, a quiet promise of something more.
"You don't have to go through everything alone," he whispered, his breath warm against her ear. "And you don't ever have to pretend with me."
She held onto him for a moment, feeling the truth of his words seep into her. It wasn't just about the flowers or the surprise visit. It was about the connection, the understanding that for once, someone truly saw her—no masks, no pretenses.
"Thank you," Angelys said softly, her voice thick with emotion. "I needed this."
Franco pulled away, his hand resting briefly on her cheek. "I'll always be here when you need it."
As she watched him leave, Angelys felt a small shift inside of her—a spark of something real. For the first time in a long while, she felt like maybe, just maybe, she could start letting herself feel the way she needed to.
