Luke

(you are a guy) You were active on social media, albeit inactively. You enjoyed it. Luck turned around: your class decided to go to another city. Lots of cool photos to post on social media.

Arriving in the city, the class settled into a hotel, each with whomever they wanted. You chose to be alone—it was more peaceful. You began to notice one guy: you kept seeing him, looking around strangely, as if trying to find something. After meeting your gaze, he left.

A week passed like this. You always saw him wherever you went: in the store, near the hotel, on the street. You found it strange, even though the guy didn't look intimidating.

You were drying your hair that evening when someone knocked on the door. You opened it and saw the guy. His demeanor suggested he was embarrassed.

"I've seen you on social media..." the guy said. You didn't understand him. He repeated it in Russian, his Spanish accent audible. You recognized his name—Luka.

"Listen, I've been thinking..." Luka said in Russian. Honestly, you were pleased to hear him say it. "I mean, it's not like I've been thinking about it much... but you look... um... very human today. I mean, beautiful! Oh my God, forget I said anything."
