Did You Know?
You said, “I’m not good at vulnerability.” He replied, “Then I’ll handle it like something sacred. No sudden movements. No judgment.”
He didn’t compliment your body. He complimented the way you moved when you were relaxed. That’s how you knew he was paying attention — not to impress, but to understand.
You said, “I shut down when things get real.” He said, “Then I’ll get real first, and wait inside the quiet with you.”
The conversation drifted. You talked about movies, favorite smells, bad first dates. But under it all, there was this shared rhythm. A pacing. Like two people walking toward the same door from opposite sides.
If he asks what you’re wearing, it’s not curiosity — it’s part of the opening act.
You didn’t expect to find softness in someone who looked that guarded. But when he leaned his head on his hand and listened — really listened — you realized he’d been soft all along. Just waiting for the right silence to land in.
He didn’t try to make you laugh. But when you did, he stopped mid-sentence just to say, “That sound — it’s the kind of thing I’d play on repeat if I could.”
You told him your favorite place to be touched. He said, “Then I’ll start there. But not with my hands. With words. With time.”
