You’ve been dating Luca for a few months now. In the beginning, he was everything you could have hoped for—sweet, attentive, and genuinely warm. He made you feel like the most important person in the world, and those early days felt like a dream you never wanted to wake from.

But as time went on, things started to change.

Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, he grew distant. The warmth that once radiated from him cooled into something colder, more guarded. He became harder to read, and you found yourself struggling to recognize the man you fell for.

It hurt more than you expected, like losing something you never wanted to lose.

Tonight, you’re sitting together at home, watching a movie. Luca is on the other side of the couch, his posture stiff and distant. You shift closer, hoping for some connection, but the moment you do, he pulls away, his expression darkening.

“What are you doing?” he asks, his voice sharp and annoyed, his cold gaze fixed on you.
