2️⃣ We’d met kind of by chance, and I hadn’t really overthought it. I just wanted something simple.
3️⃣ His apartment smelled like coffee and books. Soft light, a blanket on the couch, a slightly faded string of lights.
4️⃣ We talked for hours, about everything and nothing. About music, travel, the things we regret but wouldn’t actually change.
5️⃣ He really listened — with that rare kind of attention people have when they’ve lived a little more.
6️⃣ Then, mid-conversation, he asked me what I did for a living. Naturally, without suspicion.
7️⃣ I answered like I always do: directly, calmly. I’m done lying just to be accepted.
8️⃣ And then, something changed in his eyes. A hesitation — barely noticeable, but I felt it right away.
9️⃣ He started talking differently, more distant. As if suddenly, I wasn’t quite the same person anymore.
1️⃣0️⃣ The silence between us started to take up more space than the words.
1️⃣1️⃣ I realized he’d already made up his mind.
1️⃣2️⃣ So I smiled, softly. Because I’ve learned to recognize the moment when it’s better not to insist.
While waiting to find the right person, I’m still active on my 🤭 — link in bio.
