His heart swelled whenever he saw her. She was a natural beauty—her brown eyes held a depth of feeling that mesmerized him. He often got lost in them. She had a habit of squinting when she looked at him, and he loved it. Her button nose would scrunch up in the cutest way. It also meant she was close, and he loved having her near.
He felt most at peace in her arms. She’d rest her head on his shoulder and drape a leg over him—she fit against him like a puzzle piece. He often drifted off to sleep with her entwined in his arms, comforted by her presence. When she was near, the outside world faded away. That same serenity washed over him every time she smiled. Her smile lit up a room—it was infectious. You couldn’t help but smile back.
He hadn’t felt this way about anyone else—maybe ever. His feelings for her ran deep, born from an intense connection he couldn’t explain. They were often apart for long stretches, and during those times, he felt uneasy—constantly yearning for her. Their phone calls became his lifeline. Her voice soothed him, especially the little hmms and haaas she made, sounds that turned him on instantly.
They’d been together for over a year, and still, every time he saw her in person, she took his breath away. As photogenic as she was, she was even more stunning in real life. It was her aura—her natural magnetism.
He was madly in love with her.
