Did You Know?
He remembered something small — something you didn’t even know you said out loud. And that made you blink twice.
He doesn’t send a location. He sends a streetlight. You recognize it. That’s the turn you take every morning. Suddenly, this isn’t online anymore.
“Let’s see where this goes” is basically Upland code for “This might ruin my sleep schedule.”
He said “I want to make you feel wanted.” But not with hands. With attention. With memory. With softness.
He sent a photo of his hands. Said, “They look better when they’re not empty.”
He asked you to describe what comfort feels like. You thought of blankets, playlists, your dog. But then you said, “Being with someone who makes me forget to look at the clock.” He smiled. Didn’t say a word. But your body remembered the feeling.
He didn’t pressure you to smile. He just said, “Let me sit with you until the tension softens.”
He flirted, sent memes, then asked for your birth chart. You’ve been chosen.
