Did You Know?

He didn’t say he was into you. He asked what your hands looked like when you were comfortable. You sent a picture — no filters, no poses — and he said, “That’s what I want to memorize.”

He asked “what’s your vibe?” in Round Lake Beach, then sent a three-minute voice note and a candlelit selfie. The vibe? Unhinged and irresistible.

He didn’t send a thirst trap. He sent a voice note recorded in bed, where he just whispered, “You still on my mind?” And the way your chest clenched, you knew you were his, even if only in that moment.

You told him you ramble when you’re anxious. He said, “Good. I like long sentences when they come with your voice.”

He said “Be chill” — then triple-texted, watched all your stories, and asked if you were mad. Round Lake Beach is built different.

He said “You scare me a little.” You said “Why?” He replied, “Because I’d stay.”

He didn’t compliment your looks. He said “Your laugh makes me feel safe.”

He didn’t post about you. Didn’t make a playlist. Didn’t grand gesture anything. He just texted “Home safe?” And you realized that meant more than all the rest combined.
