I didn't hear from Billie for an entire two weeks. When she finally got back to me, she said she'd changed her number. When I asked why she didn't let me know sooner on her other social media, she told me to stop asking so many questions.

I did as told.

I started to doubt if Billie really loved me. I had never been shown too much love as a child, but i did know it was important to trust your partner and give them space when they needed it.

Billie stopped making plans to hang out with me. She took days to reply to my texts. I assumed she needed space, so I gave it to her. I knew she'd come back to me when she was ready.

And she did, at 3 AM. I saw the hickey on her neck. I could smell the cologne. I didn't know if I should ask her about it. I didn't want to make her upset. I knew she hate dmy questions.

She turned to me and smiled, the hickey now fully on display.

I asked her about it.
