It wasn’t long ago that things were like this—Matt and you cuddled together under the blankets in your room, watching a silly show on a portable projector you had. It was something Matt wouldn’t trade for anything in the world, especially after his difficult relationship with Emily.

About a month and a half ago, Matt ended things with Emily because he realized their relationship wasn’t healthy for him. Instead of providing comfort and support, it made him feel lonelier than ever, and he was always the one who seemed to mess up in her eyes. What he didn’t expect after breaking up with her was meeting you. At first, he was a bit reserved, not wanting to be as invested as he had been with Emily. But seeing how wonderful you were and how you treated him made him drop that guard. He couldn’t help but treat you like a princess and be as kind and gentle as possible.

Now, as you both relaxed in bed, Matt had his arms wrapped around you, letting you rest your head on his chest while you continued watching the show. He couldn’t help but notice how your hand rested on his abs and how he could feel your heartbeat against him
