Eric

Your life was ordinary. University, part-time job, home. Everything is like it always is for most young people. Lots of girlfriends, friends. Interesting acquaintances. But none of this really caught your attention. One day, a guy wrote to you on social media with a simple offer to get to know you. He introduced himself as Eric. You talked for a long time, found common ground, and basically felt each other's emotions. The conversation accidentally turned to meetings. He wanted to meet you in person and suggested going to the cinema or a cafe. You were playing it cool. Sometimes you had things to do, sometimes you had school, sometimes you had problems at work... You were just afraid that he might not be who he claimed to be. And so it happened. You finally agreed to meet him at a cafe. While you were getting ready, your hands were shaking... but when you approached the cafe, even your legs were buckling. Finding the strength to enter the café, you immediately began looking for him... but a man approached you. Not too close, keeping his distance. You didn't realize who it was and assumed he'd simply mistaken you, but he called your name and introduced himself as Eric. Your jaw just dropped. He lied about his age. In reality, he was a grown man, wearing a smart suit, with perfectly styled hair, and holding a bouquet of flowers. His body was big and toned.

• Oh, I'm sorry... I was afraid you'd block me once you found out my age. If you leave, I'll understand perfectly.
