Perhaps

It was her first time visiting him.

She was hesitant in going, wondering how he would react to the ugly scars and stretch marks on her back, buttocks and breasts. Pretty face. Fine body shape. But many did not know what she sees when she stands before a mirror, naked. It was the reason she hadn’t dated for a long time.

The sex was good. Or so she thought. He seemed happy. There were questions she wished to ask. But the relationship was new and it was better to bottle up some things for the time being.

Her shame and shyness grew as he refused to return her calls after she left his place. The few times he picked up, he sounded cold and distant, a completely different picture from the sweet and jovial gentleman she had come to trust.

What went wrong?

Perhaps they were all the same.
