Did You Know?

The call had already gone quiet, but neither of you hung up. His breathing had synced with yours. Not intentionally — just naturally. As if your bodies had decided they trusted each other before your minds could catch up.

You told him about a hookup that made you feel invisible. He didn’t offer pity or validation — just said, “You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking for the bare minimum. And I want to give you more than that.”

He wears a wrinkled shirt and no expectations. But the second you see that smirk, it’s over — you’re not going anywhere else tonight.

You’ll know he’s serious when he sends you a link to his playlist… and not his Snapchat.

You admitted you always sleep with music on. He said, “Then I hope my voice becomes something you don’t want to mute.”

You said, “Don’t fall too fast.” He replied, “Too late. And I brought a parachute.”

The more vague the bio, the more intense the energy. Especially in Franklin.

In Franklin, someone will send you a voice note so sexy it makes you forget all your boundaries — and your name.
