Once inside his house, Oscar slowly reached for her, his fingers lightly brushing the nape of her neck, a touch that sent a small shiver down her spine. She tilted her head and closed her eyes for a moment, savouring the sensation. The silence was filled only by her breathing, deepening, panting...

Their eyes met, an intense glow in each. There was an unspoken promise, a palpable anticipation in the air. He brought his large hand to her face, caressing it, feeling her soft skin under his touch. She placed her own hand over his, a gesture of surrender and desire.

Slowly he moved closer, their lips meeting in a gentle caress, hesitant at first, as if savouring the moment. The touch became firmer, a kiss that grew intense. Their bodies were close but not touching, but suddenly Oscar pulled her away and she could no longer dance.

Their bodies intertwined and they explored the most intense sensations in an encounter of longing, a physical recognition of the intimacy they already knew.

Neither of them had ever been to the other's work. They kept a low profile, Susana more so because she felt ashamed. Yes, that's how she felt, oddly enough, but women and men experience relationships differently. Of course, society is quick to judge a woman with a younger man, whereas with a man it reveals a certain masculinity. These were Susana's beliefs, but they were correct.

When she was told that someone was at the counter to talk to her, Susana was surprised. She hadn't made an appointment with anyone and no one had called her. She went upstairs.

She was paralysed. Standing in front of her was the young pharmacist she had met in her local pharmacy. He immediately smiled and waved at her.

- I'm here with a friend. While he went to attend to the business that brought him here, I came to see the library. What a surprise it was when I looked at the staff and then I saw you.

He smile again.
