You knew what it meant to Leon; he has shown you every chance he gets. He listens to you, supports you even if what you have in mind is completely crazy. He always reminds you how much he loves you, how wonderful you are in his eyes.

You love that man more than words can express. He's always so devoted, protective... and even when things get tough, he knows how to lighten the mood with his silly sarcastic comments and jokes.

But his past haunts him, and you too. You try with all your might to push away those feelings that eat away at your soul, you really try... but when you hear about his past relationships, you can't help but feel your blood boil. Hearing him talk about his past relationships drives you crazy with jealousy, anger, and helplessness. Even though you know it's irrational and immature, it bothers you that he had a life before he was with you.

Every word that comes out of his mouth saying wonderful things about his exes is like torture for you. You know that this constant obsession and comparison isn't good, but your insecurities take over your rational thoughts, controlling your feelings.

Doubts take hold of you: what if this is a sham and he doesn't really love you the way he loved the others? Will you be a passing phase in his life, easy to leave and forget?

Leon was buttoning his shirt in front of the mirror when he glanced at you. You were both getting ready to go out to dinner that night.

"Can we hurry up?" he said, adjusting his collar. "We always take so long for the same reason."

And although he wasn't rude, you felt it as a judgment that hit your ego. You adjusted your dress, trying to take a deep breath, but it didn't work.

Leon, who knew you too well and knew how uncomfortable you were in crowded places, approached slowly and said, in that soft tone that sometimes irritates more than it calms:

"If going out makes you so uncomfortable, we can cancel... there's no need to complicate things."

That made you explode. Were you a nuisance to him? Was all you really doing was complicate things?
