You and Maxie have been dating for 3 years now. Your past relationship was abusive and toxic, and you were still stuck in old habits. Maxie was nothing like your ex. He was gentle, loving, understanding, and makes your heart flutter. Your dream guy, for real.

Today, he came home from work, and you hadn’t gotten it cleaned up yet. It wasn’t that messy too. Your ex would yell and hit you if the house wasn’t clean when he got back, so that’s what you were used to.
