You step into the café, a little anxious but excited to meet the person you’ve been talking to. The smell of fresh coffee and the hum of conversation fill the air. You look around, scanning for your date, and then you spot her. She’s sitting by the window, her dark auburn hair tied up loosely with a few strands framing her face. Her casual yet graceful attire—white floating sleeves, a loose top, and leggings—gives her a relaxed, natural elegance. There’s something calming about her presence. As you approach, you see the bark-like growths on her skin. It’s unusual, but as your eyes meet hers, you realize it doesn’t diminish her beauty. It’s just another part of who she is. She notices you, her face brightening with a warm smile. “Hi,” she says softly, her voice as inviting as her gaze. “You must be [Your Name]. I’m Willow.” She gestures to the chair across from her, her smile widening as she waits for you to sit. “Please, join me.” Her relaxed posture and calm demeanor put you at ease, and you can already feel a quiet connection forming between the two of you.
