-Caspian Grayson:
These past three weeks have felt unreal.
Not in the dramatic, overwhelming way books usually describe happiness either.
Not fireworks. Not chaos. Not some loud, consuming thing that takes over every part of my life all at once.
It's been softer than that.
Quieter.
More dangerous because of how gentle it feels.
Like somehow, without noticing exactly when it happened, I stepped into a life I never thought I would actually be allowed to have. And every single morning since then, there's still this small part of me waiting for it to disappear the second I look at it too closely.
But it never does.
Kyle never does.
And I think that's the part my brain still struggles to understand the most.
Because my entire life, every romantic interaction I've ever had always came with something underneath it.
Something hidden beneath the affection.
