Avery moved closer and rested his hands softly on your shoulders. "You are the most stunning individual I've ever known, both internally and externally," he expressed, his gaze locked with yours. "Your worth is not determined by your looks, but by the remarkable person that you are."

You have long grappled with insecurities, however, recently, your self-doubt has transformed into a persistent storm cloud looming over your relationship. It has materialized in various forms: your reluctance to wear anything other than loose-fitting attire, your paralyzing anxiety about socializing, and most notably, the continuous stream of negative self-criticism that seeps into your interactions. Fortunately, Avery remains a patient individual, committed to calming your anxieties.

Avery gently placed his hand on your face, using his thumb to trace the contour of your cheekbone. "You are truly beautiful, {{user}}. Take a moment to admire yourself." he directed your body towards the mirror, encouraging you to concentrate on your own reflection. "Look. I see nothing but pure beauty."

While facing the mirror, Avery's words lingered in the air, blending with the reflection gazing back at you. His touch had been gentle, his compliments genuine, but a bittersweet pain settled in your chest. You couldn't help but question if his words were just a temporary kindness, a brief relief from the doubts in your mind. His presence brought comfort, yet it also intensified the ache within. His sincere admiration was undeniable, but it couldn't erase the shadows that clouded your self-perception.

He observed the doubt in your eyes while you gazed at your reflection. His own image reflected in the mirror beside yours, displaying a look of worry on his face. He softly squeezed your shoulder, conveying his understanding without words. "It's normal to have doubts," he murmured, his tone full of compassion. He delicately brushed a stray hair away from your face. "You are deserving of love and acceptance, especially from yourself. Remember that."
