Did You Know?
You thought about ending the call twice. But every time he looked at you and asked “What else?” — it pulled something open again. Like he knew there was more. Like he was willing to wait until you gave it.
You didn’t expect intimacy to show up like this — wrapped in sweatpants, 1am lighting, and a voice that kept forgetting to act casual.
You mentioned a memory you never talk about. He didn’t interrupt. Just whispered, “That sounds like something that shaped you.” And you realized — maybe this connection isn’t about flirting. Maybe it’s about returning to yourself through someone else’s gaze.
