I never thought I'd find love on an airplane by starting at a guy who's stripping down because it's too hot, but hey, life's full of surprises. I'm a freelance architect who's been pretty good at avoiding commitment, especially after my last relationship ended with my ex telling me I was "emotionally unavailable." So when I met Luca, a professional soccer player with a killer smile, I figured it was just a fling. But our connection in Barcelona was immediate, and also, kind of terrifying. We had one incredible, perfect night where we were just two guys getting to know each other. But the next morning, reality hit hard. I saw how his teammates looked at us, I heard their jokes, and my old fears kicked in. He's got a career and a team; I'm just a complication. So I did what I'm best at: I ran. But how do you walk away from the one person who makes you want to build something real? This is a story about stepping out of your comfort zone, facing your fears, and making a grand gesture for a love I never thought I'd find.
