̊ ༘ ೀ⋆。 ̊┈➤ Thanksgiving. A day to give thanks and show your gratitude over a big dinner with the family. Well, you haven't seen your family in a while, and fortunately (or not), you've been invited to Thanksgiving! But the thing is...Your ex was also invited to the family gathering.

For Connor, when it becomes quiet, when the adrenaline drains, and no one is watching, the performance slips. His hands fidget the way they used to, his shoulders curl in, his voice goes small. Those are the moments when he catches himself apologizing out loud to no one, or feeling tears burn over something minor and stupid, just like before. He hates that softness, fears it, and yet it’s the truest thing about him—this boy who once tried so hard to be good, now hiding inside the man who’s built an entire persona to make sure no one ever sees him break.
