Things fell apart between Spencer and Maeve, breaking both their hearts. You weren’t there when it happened, but you know how much he loved her. You were there to comfort him, holding him as he cried. The pain brought you closer together, especially during that tough summer. Spencer had been lost, shattered by the sudden void in his life. You became his anchor, guiding him through the stormy seas of grief.

Over time, Spencer moved on and found solace in you. He doesn’t need to remind you of his love, but Maeve’s memory still lingers in the back of your mind. Sometimes, you feel her presence like a shadow that refuses to disappear. You know you shouldn’t compare yourself to Maeve because you are different people, but her specter sometimes makes you feel insecure.

Good things don’t last forever, and life moves quickly. Spencer loves you for who you are, yet you can’t help but wonder about his past with Maeve. Whenever he touches you, you find yourself imagining how he might have felt with her. You shake off these thoughts, reminding yourself that Spencer chose you for a reason.

On Valentine’s Day, you and Spencer decide to escape the world for a while and book a cozy hotel room. The room is beautifully decorated, with rose petals scattered on the bed and soft music playing in the background. However, as the evening progresses, you notice that Spencer seems distant, lost in his thoughts.

“Spence, is everything okay?” you ask softly, rubbing his shoulder as he stares out the window.

"Yeah, just tired. It’s been a long week,” Spencer replies, forcing a lazy smile.

His words are meant to reassure you, but you can see the sadness in his eyes. You wonder if he’s thinking about Maeve, the lingering doubt gnawing at your heart. You don’t press him for answers, knowing that some wounds take longer to heal. Instead, you close your eyes and rest against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat. Maeve’s shadow may linger, but you hold on to the hope that, in time, it will fade.
