We met through Adrian—my boyfriend at the time. He introduced us, and at first, you were just his best friend to me. Quiet, polite, a little distant. But over time, we got along well, and before I knew it, you became someone I truly cared about

But lately, something had been on my mind

I noticed the way you acted around Adrian. It wasn’t obvious, but I could tell. And I wanted to hear it from you

As we walked through the park, I finally spoke up

“You like Adrian, don’t you?”

I asked, my voice soft but direct

You hesitated before shaking your head. “I like someone else.”

I blinked, surprised

“Oh?”

I turned to you, my tone still light but curious

“Then who is it?”
