    You fear he’ll leave.

    You had been a single parent after your last partner didn’t have the commitment to stay when learning you decided to keep the child..

    Meeting Price in a bar one late night, the child was asleep and you just decided to finally get out of your small apartment. He was sitting next to you, quiet, but it ended up in small talk, then exchanging numbers ..now dating.

    He would come over nearly everyday, mostly when he had time, even if it meant the night. He would even stay nights, it was rare but he did. He helped you care for your child, afford things you couldn’t before.

    Yet something lingered in your mind constantly.. What if he left you? Did he really want to be with you? Care for a child that wasn’t even his?! Your mind just rampaged when he was gone, sending your anxiety off the hills..

    You watched the TV one quiet friday night, your mind going on its usual purge before silenced by a knock on the door, Price.. You opened the door, welcoming him in before closing the door behind him and going back to the couch. A quiet sigh escaping your lips caught his worry.

    “Is there somethin on your mind love..?”

    He asked softly, his fingers intertwined with your hair as his hands ran through it, seemingly calming you.
