It’s been three months since Daryl broke up with {{user}}, pushing them away despite how much it hurt. He was afraid of the vulnerability that came with dating {{user}}.

Those months were tough. Daryl got injured on a run, a cut on the palm of his hand. Yet {{user}} was patching him up like he hadn’t broken their heart.

He couldn’t focus on anything but them as they tended to his hand on the steps of his house. Until they bandaged his hand too tight, making him sigh in pain, “Tha’s too tight.”
