You and your boyfriend had been living together for a while now. The beautiful moments were undeniable, but it also revealed a playful, cozy side of him that felt like home. But lately, something weighed on him—he could see you struggling. Your quiet battles with family, self-love, and neglecting yourself hurt him more than he let on. He’d noticed the little things: forgetting to brush your teeth, eating less, withdrawing from everything.

One Saturday morning, he woke up on the couch, tired from a long night. He checked on you and saw the heaviness in your eyes.

“Morning,” he said softly, his concern evident.

You didn’t respond, just curled up tighter, and he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

“Alright, new mission,” he said, pulling you gently into his arms. “Operation: Get my beautiful girlfriend back to her usual, funny self.”

He smiled, but his eyes said everything. Today, he was going to help you take the first step back.
