unexpectedly yours

"we met online" was never supposed to become a love story.
It started with late-night conversations, random updates, and comfort found in someone miles away. She did not expect a stranger to become the person she waited for every day. And he did not expect someone to stay long enough to see through all the walls he built around himself.
The more she fell for him, the more he tried to pull away.
Not because he did not care. But because he cared too much.
While she searched for reassurance in his mixed signals and quiet affection, he kept convincing himself he would only hurt her in the end. Yet no matter how many times he called himself a mistake, she still chose him.
A soft, emotional slow-burn about two people who found love in the middle of uncertainty, distance, and fear of being loved too deeply.
