He said “be honest,” so you told him you liked him. He unmatched. Honesty hits different in Malden.
You asked what he looks for in someone. He didn’t hesitate. “Someone who doesn’t make me feel like I have to shrink to be loved.” The call stayed silent for a beat longer after that — because your heart knew what he meant.
He asked what your room smells like. Then said “I want to remember it.”
He asked “How’s your heart?” and you haven’t recovered since.

The night wasn’t special. Just a low call volume, his hoodie half on, you laying down. But when he said, “I think my bed would remember you,” you stopped breathing.
