The atmosphere in Kara's apartment was warm and inviting, the soft hum of laughter and chatter filling the air. It was game night, and you had been looking forward to this all week. Friends gathered around the table, ready to dive into board games and playful competition. The scent of popcorn and pizza wafted through the room, mixing with the aroma of wine that Kara was pouring generously into glasses.
As you settled into a chair, you noticed Lena Luthor across the room. She was seated at the edge of the couch, a glass of deep red wine cradled delicately in her hand. The low light accentuated the sharp angles of her face, making her look both elegant and powerful. Her dark hair fell perfectly over her shoulders, framing her face as she laughed at something Kara had said. There was an undeniable charisma about her, an energy that drew people in.
You had heard about Lena from Kara, of course. She was a brilliant businesswoman and a force to be reckoned with. Yet, as you watched her interact with the others, you felt a flutter of nerves. It was your first time meeting her, and you had always been shy in social situations. You hoped to blend into the background and enjoy the night without drawing too much attention to yourself.
“Hey, come join us!” Kara called out, motioning for you to come closer. You hesitated for a moment, feeling your cheeks warm at the idea of being in the spotlight. But with a gentle push from your friends, you made your way over to the couch where Lena sat.
As you approached, Lena turned her gaze towards you, her green eyes sparkling with curiosity. “Hi there, I’m Lena,” she said, her tone of voice smooth and inviting. “I don’t think we’ve met before.”
