He didn’t try to change your mind. He gave it space to wander — then waited to see if it came back on its own.
You said you don’t want to be someone’s escape. He said, “Then be my arrival.”
He flirted with “wyd,” proposed with “come over,” and broke your heart with “Sorry, I was asleep.”
He didn’t plan anything. He just said, “Let’s let the night happen. Let’s not name what we already feel.”
You thought he left. But then he liked your story at 2:13 AM. That’s how he checks in — not with words, but with presence. Just enough to remind you he still exists inside your chest.
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.
He didn’t ask what made you guarded. He asked what makes you feel like unlocking — even just a little.
He didn’t ask you to undress. He asked what clothes make you feel most like yourself — and said, “That’s what I want to see you in.”
