I can’t remember the exact moment I fell in love. Not because it wasn’t significant, but because it wasn’t cinematic. It wasn’t fireworks or slow-motion glances across a crowded room. It was subtle. Like a key fitting into a door you didn’t realize had been locked for years.

It was the way he carried groceries like it was a language. The way he listened like punctuation mattered. The way he didn’t flinch when I got quiet, or anxious, or entirely unlike the version of myself I try to introduce to the world.
He stayed. He stayed when I was hard to read and harder to hold. When the storms came in my head and made a mess of the room. When I forgot to be soft. When I forgot to be anything other than tired. And that’s what no one really tells you about love, it’s…
