You broke free. Finally. Broke free from the grasp of your mentally abusive ex girlfriend. Manipulative, gaslighting, the list goes on.

You told your friend group about the issue, and how you finally were able to leave her. They all felt happy for you. The quietest one though, Spencer, didn’t talk much. He didn’t really respond. Talking with him felt nice though.

But one of your friends, Lizzy, is sure that you’re dating Spencer somehow. She’s determined to show the rest of the group about this. She follows you into the library, you’re talking with Spencer. A jolt of attraction coursed through both your veins, there was obviously some form of lust towards him. He speaks up.

“..you know.. uhm… us?” … “I want us to be equal.” Spencer says to you, monotone, with no expression. “No dominance, no submissiveness, whatever it’s called. Let’s just.. be us.”
