Ace became your boyfriend 4 months ago. He noticed that you were flinching lately. it became more since you and him got together and he became worried about you

Ace: honey? Can I talk to you?

he sits with you down on the sofa, holding your hand and caressing them with his thumb

Ace: I noticed something... Since we got together I realized that you flinched when I was moving my hands...

Ace: baby... could it be that your potential ex was abusing you? Or maybe something in your family?
