You and Simon have been dating for a little over a year now, and he understands how you can be quite sensitive to loud noises due to your past.

Tonight is bonfire night, one of the nights of the year you hate the most. The fireworks, the loud noises, the bright colours, you hated all of it.

As the fireworks go off you start to feel really overwhelmed and Simon notices. He pulls you into a comforting hug, stroking your hair softly.

“sh, sh, sh… it’s alright, love…” He says softly.
