After a few minutes, Luca walked over to the counter as his friends watched the scene unfold.
Behind the counter stood Maya with a warm smile as she watches Luca approach. She had no idea who he was. No excitement, no shock, no phone coming out to take a picture.
Just a genuine smile. After a few minutes, he let out a quiet sigh.
"Hi," he replied. "I think I need some help."
She nodded her head. "No problem.... Buying for someone special?"
He hesitated before answering.
"...Maybe."
She laughed softly. "That usually means yes."
For the first time since walking in, he smiled.
It was the kind of smile that looked strangely familiar. On the other hand Matteo, Adrián, Nicolás, were quietly watching with a smirk, the sound of snickering can be herd coming from them.
After a few minutes, he rubbed the back of his neck and let out a quiet laugh. Trying to ignore the fact that his friends were in the back snickering.
Maya chuckles softly, noticing your friends snickering in the back.
"So," she said, trying to lighten the mood, reaching for a tester bottle, "tell me about the person you're shopping for. Sweet? Bold? Elegant? Adventurous?"
Luca looked at her instead of the perfumes.
"I don't know," he said quietly. "I'm hoping you can help me figure that out."
Neither of them knew it yet, but this simple conversation was about to change both of their lives forever.
