One evening, as they were walking home from the library, Wouter turned to Sofie and asked if she'd like to grab a drink with him. Sofie hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to say.
Sofie had always been curious about these topics, but her conservative parents had never really talked to her about them. She felt both nervous and eager to learn more about her own body and the world of relationships.
But something about Wouter's kind eyes and gentle smile made her feel at ease. She agreed, and they headed to a nearby café.
Over coffee, they talked about everything and nothing, laughing and joking like old friends. Sofie felt a spark of attraction, but she wasn't sure if it was just a crush or something more.
