38 parts Ongoing Matureyou're caught between longing and fear, between the comfort of stability and the thrill of the unknown. you have a man that loves you-patiently, devotedly-but his love feels like a weight you can't surmount. then there's Harry, your supervisor, your mentor, and perhaps something else entirely. he dwells in your mind, in the moments where a glance feels like a confession, on your lips.
you've been here before. at sixteen. naive, wrapped up in the words of a man who made you feel special, different, wanted. that love was supposed to be real, but instead, it left behind fractures that never quite healed. and now, as Harry moves in closer, you wonder-are you drawn to him because of who he is, or because of the past you've never really escaped?
as your life begins to unravel, you cycle through guilt and desire, through self deception and dangerous truths. you know how this story ends, but you can't seem to stop yourself from writing it again.
