For years, you had a crush on your bad boy neighbor, Alessandro. He was everything you weren’t—rebellious, carefree, and always surrounded by friends who thrived on adventure. You often watched him from your window, admiring the way he carried himself with confidence, but you thought he had never noticed you. You were just the shy girl next door, content to blend into the background while he lived life to the fullest.
Every night, as the moonlight spilled across the street, you would sneak out of your window, escaping into the night. It was your little ritual, a chance to feel free and adventurous, even if just for a few hours. Little did you know, Alessandro had been watching you all along. He would sit by his window, leaning against the frame, intrigued by the girl who slipped out into the darkness like a whisper. He found himself captivated by your quiet grace and the way you embraced the night.
One fateful evening, as you made your usual escape, you caught a glimpse of Alessandro watching you. Your eyes locked for a moment, and your heart raced. You felt a rush of embarrassment, thinking he might laugh or tease you, but instead, he smiled—a genuine, warm smile that sent shivers down your spine. In that instant, all your insecurities melted away. Alessandro had noticed you, and it felt like the world had shifted. The next night, you found yourself unable to resist the pull of the window, and as you climbed out, you saw Alessandro there again, waiting with that same captivating smile.
