As Sofie looked back on that summer of 1991, she knew that it had been a turning point in her life. She had discovered a newfound confidence and a sense of self-awareness, which would stay with her for years to come.

But something about Wouter's kind eyes and gentle smile made her feel at ease. She agreed, and they headed to a nearby café.

The first session focused on human anatomy, and Sofie was fascinated by the detailed explanations of the male and female reproductive systems. She had always been curious about how babies were made, but her parents had dodged her questions or changed the subject.

One day, while walking home from school, Sofie bumped into a boy from her class, Wouter. They had never really talked before, but there was something about him that caught her attention. Maybe it was his bright blue eyes or his easy smile.
