Cute girl from the bar turned out to be a webcam model

I met her on a rainy Friday night, sitting alone at the bar with a soft smile and a glass of something pink. She had that kind of laugh that made you want to hear it again, so I bought her another drink. We talked for hours — about music, travel, even our favorite ice cream flavors. She seemed shy, almost delicate, like she didn’t quite belong in the loud neon haze of the place. The night ended with a warm hug and her number saved in my phone. Over the next week, we texted constantly, little jokes and late-night “good mornings.” One evening, curiosity got the better of me. I typed her name into the search bar. The results made my heart skip — there she was, live on a streaming site, in soft pastel lighting, talking to hundreds of viewers who called her “Angel.” The shy girl from the bar wasn’t just a stranger anymore. She was a mystery I suddenly wasn’t sure I wanted to solve.
