Daniel might have effortlessly scored a perfect 10 on her standards.
But it wasn't solely because of these criteria that Cecilia had become overwhelmingly attracted to him.
It was that unforgettable first impression that had drawn her in, but there was something more.
Daniel possessed a certain charm that some women couldn't resist.
He was like a captivating mystery box waiting to be explored.
And once they uncovered the true value hidden within him, they simply couldn't let go.
As Cecilia unravelled the layers of Daniel's personality, she found herself entranced by his exterior.
In the quiet moments of self-reflection, Daniel's mind wandered through the tapestry of his past relationships.
He realized how many chances he had unwittingly let slip through his fingers, or how many subtle hints and gestures he had failed to interpret correctly.
He had regarded it as mere friendly gestures.
