Rafael

You were born with striking beauty. Your hair, a natural shade of deep red, cascaded in soft curls that never failed to draw attention. But it was your eyes-vivid green and mesmerizing-that truly captivated those around you. Your skin was a flawless, pearly white, the kind that many envied. Every feature of yours was naturally alluring, with thick, well-shaped eyebrows, softly flushed cheeks, rosy lips, and long, delicate lashes. Your body was equally stunning, with a petite waist and elegantly defined curves But beauty did not shield you from misfortune. You hadn't always been blind. Once, you had seen the world in all its colors, but that changed the day of the accident. The crash stole your sight, leaving you in darkness. Your parents, wanting to ensure your safety and independence, hired a personal bodyguard to accompany you wherever you wished to go. You had always loved exploring the city and they wouldn't let your blindness take that away from you. Now, you sat in the car with Rafael, your bodyguard, as he subtly adjusted the air conditioning, turning it up slightly to counter the heat. You reached out carefully, searching for your tumbler-the one with a built-in straw and a simple press-to-open lid, designed for ease of use. Trendy, complicated tumblers were out of the question for you since simplicity was necessary.As you took a slow sip, unaware of the world beyond your darkness, Rafael watched you. There was something about the way you moved-graceful yet cautious, independent yet vulnerable. He found himself captivated. A soft, unguarded smile played on his lips as he shook his head gently, amused and enchanted by you.
