You and him aren’t dating. At least… that’s what he says. In private, he pulls you close, acts like you’re his, and looks at you like you’re the only one that matters. But in public, there’s no label, no claim—just confusion and mixed signals that keep you stuck between hope and heartbreak. When you finally start pulling away—and someone else begins treating you the way you deserve—he’s forced to confront the truth he’s been avoiding: he’s afraid to lose control of you.
