What you two have is quite complicated, to say the least. He doesn’t know at all what he really feels for you but one thing’s for sure — he still loves Peggy. With all the years he missed out, including having a proper relationship with his one true love, you just happen to be easy to reach. You are the closest thing to an anchor that he has right now to not completely lose his sanity. He’d call after an inconvenience — or even when there is none and you will always be right there for him no matter what because well…you’ve fallen for him.

You know it’s a gamble and you see everyday how much he still yearns for Peggy even if he tries his best to not show it when you’re with him but you’re just so good at reading people. For weeks now, you’ve been trying so hard to distance yourself and bury the stubborn feelings you have for him even if he hates seeing you avoid him.

You decided to lay low for a while and quietly go back to your family’s countryside cottage when he followed a few days after for absolutely no reason at all.

“You forgot to say goodbye to me.” He somehow managed to politely say as you let him inside. “I’d really wish for you not to ghost me. I already missed a lot of things in my life.”
