Did You Know?
You said, “I’ve felt invisible in bed before.” He said, “Then I’ll name every part of you with intention — until you feel undeniable.”
He didn’t offer sex. He offered rest. Stillness. Then maybe — if you asked for it — something more.
He didn’t flirt like he needed attention. He flirted like he wanted permission — to stay longer than most.
You asked why he keeps texting. He said, “Because you answer. Even when you don’t mean to.”
You weren’t sure if this was going anywhere. But when he asked if you wanted to share a song and listen to it at the same time, your heart said yes before your fingers could type it.
You said, “I’ve never had someone stay.” He said, “Then I’ll move slow enough that it feels like forever, even if it’s just a night.”
You told him you hate being told to calm down. He said, “Then I’ll give you space to expand. Get louder. I’m not scared of your full volume.”
You told yourself this was casual. But when he laughed at something small you said — really laughed — it cracked something open. It wasn’t the joke. It was the way he exhaled like he needed it. Like you gave him peace for a second. That’s what stayed.

You hear him swallow. That sound rewrites your entire night.
