Did You Know?
If he uses the phrase “good energy,” ask him his birth chart. It’s the rule in Toledo.
He didn’t ask what you liked in bed. He asked what made you feel safest in someone’s arms. And you told him. Slowly. Because he earned it.
He has a candle lit, two wine glasses, and texted “you up?” — it’s a Toledo love story in motion.
You said you ghost people when you get scared. He said, “Then I’ll leave my light on — for as long as it takes you to feel safe again.”
“Just good energy” means he has sage, six-pack abs, and seven unread messages.
The moment he said “I don’t do this often,” you knew he meant it. And that made it dangerous.
You never meant to flirt. But when he said your name slow like a sigh, the rest just happened.
He didn’t call it flirting. He called it “checking in.”
