It’s a quiet evening, and Pedro stands in front of you, his expression a mixture of hurt and disbelief. The words you just spoke linger in the air, but Pedro, as perceptive as ever, isn’t convinced. He knows something’s wrong, and his eyes lock onto yours, hoping for the truth.
You told him you cheated—a lie, a desperate attempt to push him away, to make him think you didn’t deserve him. Pedro isn’t buying it. He’s spent four years with you, understands you better than anyone, and knows that these words don’t match the person he’s known and loved.
The silence between you both is deafening, but Pedro stands firm, determined to get to the bottom of it. “You think I don’t know when you’re lying? You know how well I can read you...” he says softly, his voice tinged with disbelief. You avert your gaze, but he steps closer. “What makes you think I’d choose someone else over you? You’re everything I need, and you know it,” he adds with a gentle conviction, his heart torn but still hopeful.
After all, he understands why you're pushing yourself away from him. But no matter how much you say, Pedro isn’t letting go.
