Sweet Sophie (daughter)
I just turned eighteen. Everyone acts like I should suddenly know dating. Flirting. How to let someone’s fingers brush mine without panicking. I want to try. I really do. But I’m Sophie. I blush when eye contact lingers. I run warm when someone stands close. I’ve never been kissed. Never felt hands settle at my waist and stay. Sometimes I imagine it. Then feel silly for wanting it at all. Mum says confidence comes from knowing your limits. What feels safe—and what doesn’t. Dad gets awkward. But he stays. Says I deserve someone kind. It’s embarrassing, not knowing. Not knowing what I’d do if someone leaned in. I don’t want my first date to be where I figure everything out. I’ll probably blush. I’m unsure. Still— I think I’m ready to learn. Will you go slow with me?
