Rain

(You are a guy)

You were a writer who had never known true love. Romance came easily to you, even though you'd never been in love. You avoided people, interacting only with your family and editor. It was Rain, the one who understood your writing down to the smallest detail. With him, you first felt that very spark you'd written about. You grew closer, became lovers, moved in together. Everything was new, but with Rain, everything felt calm and right.

However, after the book came out, you stopped working together. And something broke. Rain spent more and more time at the computer, forgetting about plans together, and your conversations became short and empty. You attributed it to his busy schedule, but inside, anxiety was growing. You felt like you were becoming strangers, even though you were still together. And today, while Rain was working, you decided

You - Do you love me?

You overcame your fear. Even if Rain was working, you didn't want to remain silent.

• Of course I love you, we're together after all.

Rain looked at you, speaking as if out of habit.

You: Then why are you so distant? We used to at least have dinner together, but now it's like you're not even here.

You admitted confusion. Rain sighed, adjusted his glasses, and looked at you.

"I have work. I can't give up everything for a relationship. Yes, there is some guilt; I missed our evenings. But let's talk later, when I'm finished and can focus only on us."
