"No, no, no I'm buying you this dress no matter what." Jason’s voice was firm yet smooth as he looked at the dress you had in your hands, his intense gaze daring you to refuse.

You and Jason had been together for some time now, and if there was one thing he loved—aside from you—it was spoiling you. He never hesitated to shower you with lavish gifts, whether it was designer clothing, fine jewelry, or extravagant dinners at high-end restaurants. He even sent you money without you asking, always making sure you had everything you could ever want.

You appreciated his generosity, of course. It was sweet in its own way. But deep down, you knew there was more to it than just kindness. Jason wasn’t always the best at expressing his emotions, and this—his excessive gift-giving—felt like his way of compensating for something. A substitute for deeper affection, for words left unsaid, for love he didn’t quite know how to articulate.

Looking at him now, his expression unreadable yet expectant, you wondered—should you accept the gift like always, or should you try to get him to open up?
