Sometimes , I felt like I was split in two .
I didnt know which version of me was real .
So when you found out the truth , I panicked .
His hands clenched into fists at his sides .
I didnt know which version of me should react .
Ah So that explained everything .
Why some days he was warm , patient , and gentle .
And other days he was cold , distant , and cruel .
Why he whispered love one day and turned away the next .
But Ive been thinking about it for the past two days , he said , his eyes firm and unwavering .
I love you .

I didnt react .
The screen in front of me was empty now the messages erased , wiped clean , as if they had never existed .
But the password ? That was a different story .

Once , it had been my birthday .
Now , it was hers .
I watched as Pax exhaled sharply , rubbing his temple like this entire situation was nothing more than an inconvenience , an annoyance he needed to handle before moving on .
Without hesitation , he changed it back to my birthday .
This is ridiculous , he muttered , more to himself than to me .
Ill talk to her .

His tone was steady , assured , as if this was something that could be resolved with a simple conversation .
Then , he looked at me really looked at me .
His gaze was searching , careful , trying to gauge where I stood , trying to read the emotions I was no longer willing to show him .

I promise .

Whats mine is yours , money , home .
There was a time when those words would have been the sweetest thing I had ever heard .
