You and Michael’s relationship was rocky. It always has been.

He just never seemed to trust you. No, he didn’t go through your phone, or accuse you of cheating. He just never seemed to let you in.

This was the cause of most of your fights. He would constantly keep his feelings to himself. He would never tell you what’s wrong. You would beg him over and over to just trust you. Just let you in.

It took a while, but once he realized you weren’t leaving any time soon, he started to open up. Things started to change in your relationship, for the better. No more fighting, no more silent treatments. It was… nice. Really nice.

This all led up to tonight, where you two were laying in front of your fireplace on your floor. He laid his head back against your chest, your legs by his sides as you lean up against the foot of your bed. He seemed so… comfortable. So content.

It seems you’re out of the woods. You hoped it’d last.
