Did You Know?
He didn’t flirt. He asked, “What kind of touch do you miss?” You paused. Not because you didn’t know — but because you finally trusted someone enough to say it out loud.
He didn’t look like your type. But the way he paused to hear your answer? That rewired something.
He replies late, but always says “Sorry, was thinking about you.” Smooth, confusing, effective.
“Looking for something real” can include a shared Wi-Fi password, blanket, and your favorite mug.
He called you “bestie” — now you’re in his bed. Friendship escalates quickly around here.
You told him you didn’t know how to be soft anymore. He said, “Then we’ll relearn it together. I’ll go first.”
You told him your body forgets how to relax. He said, “Then I’ll relearn it with you. Slowly. From shoulder to spine. Until rest doesn’t feel like a stranger anymore.”
He didn’t flirt. He just made you feel seen. And that’s the most dangerous kind of attraction.
