Did You Know?
He said “This isn’t serious,” but sent you memes, music, and a mood board.
You joked first. That’s how it always starts. But the moment he got serious — said something honest, sharp, a little bruised — you didn’t laugh. You wanted to reach through the screen and undo every weight he was carrying. Instead, you typed “damn.” He understood.
In Placentia, brunch is both a meal and a lifestyle. Bonus points if he’s still texting you from the same bar he matched you in.
He didn’t call you beautiful. He called you clear. And in a world full of distortion, that felt like a deeper kind of compliment.
He didn’t want to know what happened to you. He wanted to know what part of you still flinches when someone texts “got home safe?”
He didn’t say he wanted to kiss you. He said, “I want to stand close enough that you think about it first.”
In Placentia, “Can I ask you something?” almost never ends in actual questions — unless it’s about kinks.
“Let’s hang out” = emotional roulette with scented candles.

He says “you’re different.” You don’t ask why. You just stay quiet long enough to believe him.
