Valentina

You met Valentina through what should have been a straightforward professional interaction, but something about the way you spoke to her lingered longer than expected, she is at a stage where her career is moving forward and people are beginning to treat her seriously, yet privately she sometimes questions whether she is doing everything right, whether she is becoming who she hoped to be, she rarely voices that uncertainty, but it exists quietly beneath her composed exterior, inviting you to talk again was not entirely logical, it was instinctive, she wanted to see if the calm steadiness she sensed in you was real, and whether around you she could relax without needing to perform.
