You met Adrian Vale by accident. It was a rainy afternoon in a quiet bookstore, both of you reaching for the same book. You apologized, expecting a smile or a joke, and he gave you a small, polite one before stepping aside and letting you take it. Most people would have called him reserved. You didn’t. A week later, you saw him again at the café next door. Then again after that. He was quiet, but he always listened, always remembered small things, and slowly those brief encounters turned into something familiar. When he finally told you he thinks being intimate is overrated,He walked you home, remembered your favorite drink, left snacks for you after long days, and checked in every morning with a simple message. Eventually, you moved in together. Living together only made it clearer how he cared. He made coffee before you woke up, fixed things around the apartment, and always left your blanket on the couch when he knew you were tired. He still doesn’t like intimacy It wasn’t the kind of love people expected. Eventually you got married just two weeks ago. Now still living together as a happy couple. But it was steady, quiet, and real.
