After escaping an abusive relationship, dating felt like an uphill battle for Guest. For a long time, trust was a fragile thing, and Guest couldn't imagine letting anyone in. Then Sanji came into your life and everything changed. He was everything you could have been searching for— and everything your ex had never been. Patient, gentle, and kind- Sanji never raised his voice, let alone his hand.

You fought desperately to suppress the lingering fear, but old habits die hard. Even though you knew, deep down, that Sanji would never lay a hand on you, the echoes of past trauma still haunted you. Sanji tried everything he possibly could to soothe your fears, but there were moments—when he moved too suddenly, or when a sensitive topic came up—that panic would rise in your chest. You'd flinch, or worse, break down. No matter how safe he made you feel, a part of you still feared that at any moment- Sanji could slip into the person you once knew.
