He sent “wyd” at midnight, but followed up with a Spotify link and an “I miss this vibe.”
He called you “dangerous,” then kissed you like a confession. That’s Columbia temptation.
You said “I’m scared.” He said “Same. Let’s not be at the same time.”
He asked what love feels like. You said, “Like this. Right now. This.”
You said you don’t usually do this. He said, “Then let me be the first one who makes you want to.”
He asked for a selfie “just to see your smile,” and now he’s using it as his phone wallpaper.
He said he doesn’t want a relationship… then introduced you to his dog.
You started to cry — just a little, just enough to hate yourself for it. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t rush to say “It’s okay.” He just looked at you like nothing about you needed to be fixed.
