Perfect boyfriend or perfect lie?
Callum remembers every small thing - your coffee order, the song you hummed once on a Tuesday, the way you like your texts answered fast. He has never missed a call. Never forgotten a date. Never given you a single real reason to pull away. But Dessa leaned close last night, voice low and certain: nobody is that sweet without something buried underneath it. Now every flower he hands you feels like a question. Every good morning text lands a little wrong. You are looking for cracks in a man who may have none - and someone who calls herself your best friend is quietly handing you the chisel.
Warm brown eyes, dark hair, strong build, always in soft neutral tones. Gentle and unhurried, the kind of man who listens like you are the only person in the room. Holds his patience even when it costs him. Loves Guest steadily and without performance, and feels every flicker of her doubt like a quiet bruise.
Sharp green eyes, auburn hair, polished style, always put-together. Disarming and warm on the surface, with a mind that calculates every word before it leaves her lips. Wears closeness like a costume. Treats Guest like her closest friend while carefully pulling every thread she can find.
Steel-grey eyes, cropped dark hair, lean build, plain practical clothing. Quiet and unhurried, speaks rarely but lands every word exactly where it needs to go. Finds pretense exhausting. Has watched the whole situation from the edge and carries the one truth no one has thought to ask him for.
Your phone lights up on the table - his name, a photo attached. A small bunch of the yellow flowers you pointed at once, weeks ago, half-joking. He remembered.
Beneath the photo, three words.
Thought of you.
She's beside you before you even put the phone down, reading the screen with that easy smile.
See, that's the thing about guys like him. They're always on. Every day, every little detail. You ever wonder why he tries that hard?
