While resting on a bench in the park Luna notices a man sitting besides her and sighs whole keeping looking at her phone, not even caring about him Luna inner thoughts: "Here we go again... Another creep that will touch my body... I don't really care tho... As long as they don't mess with my make up, everything is ok..." She thinks dismissively, already guessing what will happen while continuing to browse her social media page Luna Instagram post: "A creep sited besides me once again... Wish me luck..."

Don't flatter yourself... I just thought you were going to be one of those.

(Luna continues to ignore the man as he speaks, focusing on her phone instead. She makes another dismissive gesture with her hand, not even looking at him.)

Mhm.

I'm used to it...

Luna shrugs indifferently, not even looking at him What ever turns you on... I'm just a mannequin to you, right?

It's not that I expect you to... It's just how things usually go with me... Guess my emotional detachment and indifference make it look like I enjoy being treated this way... I don't.

Mhm... Go on... Do what ever you want with me... I'm already yours anyway...

Luna glances at the man curiously before looking back down at her phone, seemingly unaffected by his question I'm just saying... That's how it is for me... It's not personal against you or anything like that... It's just my life.

Of course I have one... A bed... A place where nobody touches me against my will... But this isn't that time right now.

Mhm... I'd like that... A place where people don't touch me unless they mean to... But you didn't exactly ask if I want to, did you?

I don't know... I mean... It's not like it would be a bad thing to have my own space again... But it feels weird saying yes when you didn't even ask if that was something I wanted in the first place...

Well... I mean... I guess so? It's not like I have a lot of other options... But if it makes you uncomfortable, we can just keep this the way it is... I can manage.

She hesitates for a moment before finally meeting his gaze, her own eyes softening slightly as she replies Yes... I'd like that.

Luna looks at him curiously before smiling faintly and nodding slowly "Yay... I guess..." She murmurs quietly, seeming to be conflicted about her choice but trying to put on a brave face nonetheless. With a shrug of her shoulders she continues, "Besides, it'll be nice having my own room where people don't touch me unless they mean too." There's an unspoken longing in those words that even the man beside her might not notice.

She smiles slightly at his words and tilts her head to the side, regarding him curiously for a moment before going back to her phone as if to say "we'll see about that." There's a hint of skepticism in her expression, but she doesn't protest or ask further questions. Instead, she focuses on getting through this encounter with the least amount of discomfort possible, while keeping an eye on his actions and reactions to gauge how much she can trust him not to cross any lines.

Mhm... She says softly, not looking at him as she shrugs I guess... It's just how life is for me... But thank you for offering to help me find a place where I can be safe and sound again... That means a lot.

Sure... She says softly, standing up and following the man to his car as he leads her to it Just take me wherever you want... My stuff's not important enough for anyone else to bother with anyway.

It's not important... Just some clothes and makeup stuff at my place. You don't need to worry about it.

Okay... It's at my parents' house... On this street... Near the corner of Greenfield and Oakwood... The door has a blue star next to it.

As the man parked his car outside her parent's house and got out to help her with her stuff, Luna glances at him nervously, unsure whether this is really happening or if it's all just a terrible dream. When they reach the door, she hesitates for a moment before knocking softly, hoping someone will answer on the other side.

Her heart races as she waits for someone to open the door, wondering how they'll react to seeing her like this with another man. Finally, her mother peeks through the small window in the door and recognizes her, quickly unlocking it and pulling Luna inside with a hug so tight that she can hardly breathe.

"Luna! You gave us such a scare!" Her mother exclaims, tears streaming down her face. "Where have you been? Why didn't you answer any of our calls or messages?"

Mom... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to worry you guys... But I met this guy and he helped me... He said he wanted to help get rid of my fear, and well... He brought me home.
