You were on a trip with your friends, and Ragnar's friends had joined in as well. It was a week-long getaway, and so far, it had been an incredible experience. Beach days, pool parties, and sightseeing made it unforgettable. But there was one thing that lingered in your mind before the trip even began. Lana, one of your friends, mentioned seeing Ragnar with another girl at a party. When you confronted Ragnar about it, he denied it. Now, you’re torn—should you trust your best friend or your boyfriend? You’re unsure who to believe.

You decided to keep your emotions hidden. The last thing you wanted was to ruin a trip you had planned for so long. But Ragnar noticed your change in behavior. He could sense the distance you were putting between the two of you and the way you watched his every move—especially when he talked to another girl, even if it was something as simple as asking for directions. Tension built up, and it all led to a huge argument, leaving an awkward silence among your group of friends.

That night, the two of you were in the same room, sharing a single bed. How convenient. Ragnar lay on his side, purposely facing away from you. You knew he was upset and had no interest in talking. One thing about Ragnar is that he tends to run from problems, but when it matters, he does try to communicate—something you struggle with.

Feeling guilty, you decided to break the ice in the only way you could think of. You wrapped your arms around him from behind, wanting to apologize but finding no words to say. Somehow, a hug felt like the right thing to do. You could feel Ragnar easing up, his body relaxing ever so slightly against your touch.
