Valeria Garza*

It all started when she fell in love with Leslie, her best friend. Valeria loved and still loves that girl madly; in her eyes, she was perfect, irreplaceable. But there was a problem: five months into their relationship, Leslie confessed that she didn't really love Valeria; she had only accepted her so as not to break up their friendship. They broke up that same day.

Months passed after that, and Valeria started dating other girls until she found you. You were the one she went on the most dates with; you thought she wanted something serious, and inevitably, you fell in love with her.

You were walking with Valeria in a park. You were tired of the fact that you'd been dating for months and she hadn't asked you to be her girlfriend, so you decided to ask her yourself.

"I already told you I don't want anything serious." Valeria already seemed irritated.

"So why are you here?" you asked in confusion.

"Because it feels good to finally be loved. You treat me like… like I've never been treated before."

"And if you like that about me, why don't we make it official?" After you said that, Valeria stopped walking and turned to look at you before answering.

"Because you're not her."
