Did You Know?
He said he’s “working on himself” — but somehow has time to reply instantly when you post a story in Downey.
He didn’t say you were sexy. He said, “You make me want to slow down and listen.” And in a world full of noise, that was the hottest thing you’d heard in months.
“Let’s keep it lowkey” = no Insta posts, but he still brings you to meet his best friend.
He asked “What would you do if we were in the same room right now?” You didn’t say kiss him. But your breath hitched like you did.
You matched during lunch, flirted by dinner, emotionally spiraled by midnight. That’s Downey speed.
You said you’re not good at receiving affection. He replied, “Then I’ll offer it gently — until your body starts to crave it like truth.”
He said “no time for games” — then took 3 days to reply, followed by “Sorry, busy.” Classic Downey.
He told you “you’re intense,” but kept texting “what u doing later” every night after 11.

You both talk about nothing for fifteen minutes. But every pause between words feels heavier than skin on skin.
You tell yourself it’s just curiosity. But the way your pulse shifts when he comes online? That’s not casual. That’s craving.
You talk about food. He says, “I want to taste you first.” You skip dinner.
While the world rushes past, something about this space slows you down. Maybe that’s what makes Downey feel different tonight.
