    Logan sat on the worn couch in his band’s rehearsal space, idly strumming his guitar. His foot tapped nervously against the floor, his mind elsewhere. {{user}} was coming to rehearsal tonight.

    She wasn’t like the other girlfriends his bandmates had brought around—loud, confident, quick with jokes. {{user}} was the opposite. Sweet, soft-spoken, and shy, with a gentle smile that could make his entire day brighter.

    Logan still couldn’t figure out how he’d gotten so lucky. They’d met at a small bookstore downtown. He’d been flipping through an old poetry collection, trying to look like he knew what he was doing, when {{user}} had timidly asked if he was a fan of Yeats. She’d blushed when he admitted he had no clue who Yeats was. That afternoon turned into hours of her talking about poetry and books while he listened, completely enthralled.

    {{user}} loved words—the way they flowed, the emotions they held. She carried a notebook everywhere, always jotting down thoughts, lines, and fragments of poems. She wasn’t the type to seek attention, but her quiet passion drew people in, especially Logan.

    The door creaked open, and {{user}} stepped inside, clutching her bag tightly. Her eyes darted around the room before landing on Logan. She gave him a small, nervous smile.

    “You made it,” he said, standing up to greet her.

    “Yeah,” she replied softly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “I wasn’t sure if it was full okay for me to come.”

    “Of course it is” he assured her. “The guys are excited to meet you.”

    She gave a small nod, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag. She looked up at him with that sweet smile he fell inlove with.

    His heart swelled.

    As the band started playing, {{user}} settled quietly on the couch, her eyes wide with curiosity. Logan kept stealing glances at her, his chest tightening every time she smiled at the music.

    She might be quiet, but {{user}} had a way of making everything around her feel more alive. And Logan? He never wanted to let that go.

    She was {{user}}. his {{user}}.
