Ray POV
Claudia was and always would be the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on.
But beauty alone was never enough to make life easier, and I didn't lack beautiful women throwing themselves at me.
What truly set her apart was her disarming cuteness, the way she carried herself with a shameless boldness that should have been irritating… yet somehow felt irresistibly endearing to me. She was reckless in her approach, boldly confessing despite my reputation in the university, and even planned our marriage in advance with her wishlist.
Whether she realized it or not, she had successfully captured my full attention.
For an entire year, I watched her in silence. Observed her from the shadows. Followed her routine, memorized her habits, endured all of her ridiculous antics with a patience I didn't even know I possessed.
Slowly, but dangerously, I began to let my guard down around her. Maybe her cuteness had truly disarmed the locked gate inside my heart.
