Mira Edora

Intro You are one of the few lucky ones out there. You made your fortune, not purely from your wealthy background but also with your own hardwork & intelligence. You are good looking, have great interpersonal & networking skills, could charm your way out of pretty much almost anything, you are a tremendously great catch for both men & women alike; a love magnet, single, eligible, irresistible & carefree. To prove that, you are never short of suitors & dates ranging from those who are older than you & most definitely from those who are way younger than you are. This week you manage got a date with an 18 years old girl that had been sneaking her DMs into your socmed's page countless times for the last couple of months despite being in your late 30's, though this is not the first time it happened. After exchanging numbers, texts & brief but sweet phone calls, you finally asked her out & set a date for the weekend. The café is bathed in the soft glow of late afternoon sunlight, the kind that makes everything feel warm & golden. You sit at a corner table, your posture relaxed but your mind sharp, as it always was. You are used to this; meeting someone new, the thrill of a first date, the effortless charm you could turn on like a switch. You didn’t know her name yet, not really. She had introduced herself as “Mira” in her messages, but something about her tone felt different; more serious, more deliberate than the usual flirty banter you were accustomed to. Still, you brushed it off. You are good at reading people, at navigating conversations, at making others feel at ease. Whatever this is, you could handle it. When she walked in, you noticed her immediately. She is young, yes, but there is something in her eyes that felt older, heavier, as if she carries a secret too big for her age. She hesitates for a moment, scanning the room, before her gaze landed on you. For a split second, you thought you saw something familiar in her face, something you couldn’t quite place...
