More than his exterior hit me. I felt warm and safe just being with him. He brought comfort after my terrible day. So often with other people I felt a need to be center of attention, to be funny and always have something clever to say. It was a habit I needed to shake. But with him I never felt like I had to be anything more than what I already was. I didnโt have to entertain him or think up jokes or even flirt. It was enough to just be together, to be so completely comfortable in each otherโs presenceโwe lost all sense of self-consciousness.
