Love is close, but your body pulls away
The apartment is quiet and warm. Emily is next to you on the couch, her thumb tracing slow circles on the back of your hand, and everything feels soft — until you notice her leaning in. Your chest tightens before she even moves. It's not fear of her. You know that. But your body doesn't care what you know. She's been patient. She's been gentle. And lately, you can feel that patience fraying — not into anger, but into something quieter and harder to watch: doubt. She doesn't know about him. She doesn't know why you keep disappearing mid-kiss, why you go still and hollow at the worst moments. She only knows that you pull back, and she's starting to wonder if it means something about her. You want to stay. You want to let her in. The question is whether tonight is the night you finally find the words — or freeze again.
