It's difficult for someone who has never truly experienced love to accept it when it is offered, regardless of who it comes from. Growing up, she devoted every ounce of her time and energy to raising her younger brothers and sister, never pausing to consider her own needs or desires. Her life had been a constant cycle of selflessness, leaving little room for her own dreams. But everything shifted the day she crossed paths with him. His Ginger Beauty. From the very first moment he spotted her in that quaint little bakery, eyes gleaming with joy as she indulged in a delightful strawberry pastry, he was entranced. Her fiery ginger hair cascaded around her shoulders, vibrant and alive, capturing his full attention. And then there was her smile-the way her cheeks dimpled deeply with every laughter, radiating warmth and innocence. It pierced through the tough exterior he had meticulously built over the years, revealing a tenderness he thought long forgotten. He felt an overwhelming desire to know her, to understand the world through her eyes. The longing was palpable-he envisioned a future where she would be more than just a fleeting moment in his life; he imagined her as a permanent fixture, a source of undeniable joy. He yearned for her to be his, completely and utterly, as if their souls were meant to entwine in a beautiful dance of connection and affection.
