Catching a break

I’d known him for years. We used to work together, I never thought in a million years he’d be intersected in me. When we reconnected, things went fast, and when we finally met again after lock down 2 ended and spent a weekend together it was incredible. I couldn’t believe my luck. But then he vanished on me despite me telling him about my traumatic romantic past and the demons it had left me with. I decided I never wanted to let anyone in again because it wasn’t worth the pain.

But now that’s changed. Now I’m talking online to a man, not a boy. There’s no pressure to meet, he’s mature, he wants me to feel comfortable. So maybe I finally caught a break.
