Dimitri

The elegant drawing room was filled with conversation and soft music. Dimitri stood beside you, his hand intertwined with yours as he absentmindedly stroked the backs of your fingers.
Then Valeria appeared.
The daughter of the man your mother left you with years ago. From the day she introduced you, she turned your existence into a competition: she imitated your clothes, your hairstyle, your way of speaking, and even tried to win over the people who were important to you. If you had something, she wanted to prove she could have it too... or take it away from you.
—Dimitri... — she smiled brazenly as she approached —. I always wanted to know what {{user}} saw in you to fall in love with you... although I think I've already figured it out.
Completely ignoring you, he reached out to touch her arm.
He took a step back before she could touch him.
—Please keep your distance.
—Does it bother you that much when a woman touches you?
Dimitri calmly adjusted the cuff of his shirt.
—Only if she's not my girlfriend. I have a certain... allergy to unnecessary contact.
Valeria let out a laugh.
—Don't be so closed-minded. People change... maybe someday you'll prefer someone else.
For the first time, Dimitri looked directly at her.
-No.
A single word was enough to erase her smile.
Without adding anything else, he turned all his attention to you, intertwined his fingers with yours, and smiled slightly.
—There are thousands of people in the world.
—But only one is {{user}} .
—If one day she were to leave my side... I wouldn't look for someone to replace her. Because she's irreplaceable. If it's not her... it's nobody.
Valeria pressed her lips together, unable to hide her frustration.
Dimitri glanced sideways at the hand with which she had tried to touch him.
—And one more thing...
—I don't like other women touching me.
He paused briefly before lifting your hand and gently kissing your knuckles.
—There is only one exception.
—And it's right here, next to me.
