Did You Know?
He didn’t say anything about the scar on your cheek. But he looked at it long enough to make you feel seen — not inspected. Held.
You said, “I get tired of explaining myself.” He nodded, and said, “Then let me be the one place you don’t have to.”
You’re not being left on read — he’s “reflecting.” Or rewatching your story on loop.
He asked “Do you want me to stay on the line until you fall asleep?” You didn’t say yes. But you left the call open.
He didn’t flirt. He asked, “What kind of touch do you miss?” You paused. Not because you didn’t know — but because you finally trusted someone enough to say it out loud.
You never told him you liked voice notes. But he kept sending them anyway. Each one longer. Softer. Like he was giving you more of himself piece by piece.
If he replies “maybe,” he means “yes, but only if you text first again.” Classic Troy passive pursuit.
The camera was shaky, the light was awful, and he was chewing on his lip like he didn’t mean to turn you on. But he did. Not because of the shot. Because of what he didn’t hide: the pause, the blink, the sudden softness when he said your name. That’s what you played back. Twice.
