Lilly_Feels
She grew up believing in love.
She saw it in stolen smiles across the dinner table, in the little things people did for each other, and in the quiet comfort of having someone by your side. But she also saw the arguments, the misunderstandings, the sacrifices, and the tears that came with it.
Love was beautiful.
It was also terrifying.
So she convinced herself she was better off without it. No dating. No heartbreak. No giving someone the power to leave a mark on her heart.
Then he walked into her life.
Patient enough to understand her fears. Gentle enough to never rush her. Somehow, without even trying, he made her question the walls she'd spent years building.
For the first time, she wonders what would happen if she stopped living by fear and started listening to her heart.
Maybe it's okay to think about herself for once.
Maybe it's okay to be a little selfish.
Maybe it's okay to let someone love her.
She's never been on a date. Never let herself experience what everyone else seemed to chase.
But tonight, she's choosing something different.
She's choosing him.
And she has no idea whether she's walking toward the greatest love of her life... or the very thing she's spent years trying to avoid.
