When I met Mike, it was the best thing that happened to my life. I had never known anyone so gentle and perfect. The first time we met was during a travel show. It was a group trip, six days in Croatia. Best trip I’ve ever taken. On the first day, we arrived at ABNB and got settled in before exploring the small town of Kastel. The second day I opted for a photoshoot, and I met with a photographer that morning.
I met him after leaving a relationship that never reached marriage. A relationship without love, without passion, where he never wanted to touch me. It had cost me a lot to get out of such a situation; I had not wanted to do it, even though it was more of a friendship than anything else. My life had changed for the better, I was on my own, but without carrying the enormous weight, that man represented in my life.
