Chapter 89 Love Is

• “When a man loves you, truly loves you, he listens. He learns you. He remembers the things that make you flinch, and then makes damn sure he never becomes one of them. He shows up. Not just when it’s easy, but when it’s dark, messy, and ugly. And he’ll carry it with you, Narine", he went on. “The weight. The fear. The silence. All of it. And he’d never make you feel like you’re too much. Or not enough. Or hard to love. Not because you asked him to, but because he wants to. Without rushing you.”
• My gaze flicked up, and met his. And for a second, I couldn’t breathe.
• He glanced at me and smiled faintly. “Love’s not always loud. Sometimes it’s just… consistent.”
