Despite my concerns, I clung to the hope that Noah's love was genuine. We would spend evenings cuddled up on the couch, sharing stories and dreams, lost in our own little world. His kisses were tender, his touch electric, making me feel cherished and adored. But deep down, a sense of unease lingered.
One rainy afternoon, as we sought refuge in a cozy café, I gathered the courage to express my doubts.
"Noah, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately," I began, my voice quivering slightly.
He reached across the table, his eyes filled with warmth and reassurance. "What's on your mind, Lily? You can tell me anything."
I took a deep breath, fidgeting with the edge of my coffee cup. "There have been moments when I feel like there's a part of you that remains hidden. You disappear without explanation, and there's something in your eyes sometimes... something I can't quite put my finger on. Can you help me understand?"
Noah's smile wavered for an instant before he reached across the table, gently clasping my hands. "Lily, I never wanted to burden you with my past. But please know that my love for you is real. Sometimes, I have personal matters that require my attention, but they have nothing to do with us. You are my priority."
His words were meant to soothe my worries, but a seed of doubt had taken root within me. I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to his story than he was willing to reveal.
