He has no business draping me in his reassurance. He doesn’t have the facts. Can’t see, as I can, the endless ways life can unravel. Still, I luxuriate in his careless smile, his shrugging faith in a benevolent future. The confidence doesn’t fit, but my god he wears it well.

I like it very much! Thank you🥰
Well done, Zoe. All the fun lies in the unraveling, doesn’t it? Fun, fear, and by gosh, all the mystery.
Well done.
I love this, haha.
Fun, well-written story!
