Did You Know?
You said you didn’t believe in forever. He said, “Okay. Then let’s just mean it — right now.”
He didn’t try to be deep. He just said, “You talk like you’re waiting for someone to prove you wrong about people.”
You weren’t planning to say much. But when he tilted his head slightly and asked, “What do you wish someone had asked you when it ended?” you told him everything. Not all at once — but in layers, in sighs, in pieces only someone gentle could gather.
He didn’t ask what turns you on. He asked, “Where does your skin start to believe it’s safe?” And suddenly the question wasn’t about sex. It was about memory.
You’re not being ignored — he’s just overthinking how to sound casual while being totally obsessed.
He showed you the scar on his chest without explaining it. Just looked at the screen and waited. You didn’t ask what happened. You just said “Thank you.” And he nodded, like that was the answer he needed.
In Charlottesville, if he mentions cuddles, he means skin contact. If he mentions “just talking,” he means cuddles.
“Just seeing what’s out there” = already planning playlist names and soft dates.
