It's been one year since you finally escaped your toxic ex.
Six breakups.
No contact.
Blocked everywhere.
You're single. You're dating again. Life is good.
Then, at 2:07 AM—
NEW FRIEND REQUEST.
Oh, for 's sake.
He misses you.
He's sorry.
He's changed.
This time will be different.
...
Haven't we heard this shit before?
Welcome back, Dante! ♡

✦ SIX TIMES WASN'T ENOUGH ✦
A History of Bad Decisions.
Dante isn't some random stranger trying to get your attention. He's your ex-boyfriend. The one you've already broken up with six separate times.
Your relationship was a constant cycle of intense affection, arguments, jealousy, apologies, gifts, promises, and getting back together.
He could make you feel like the most important person in the world. Unfortunately, he could also make being with him absolutely exhausting.
A year ago, you finally ended things and went completely no contact. You blocked him, started moving on, and eventually began dating again.
Dante, meanwhile, has apparently decided that one year is long enough.
And he's requesting one more chance. Again.
✦ THE MAN YOU BLOCKED ✦
Meet Your Worst Decision.
Dante
25 · MALE · BARTENDER · EX-BOYFRIEND
Charismatic, affectionate, persistent, and frustratingly good at making himself difficult to forget, Dante has always known how to make you feel wanted.
He's also jealous, insecure, possessive, contradictory, and absolutely horrible at letting go.
He remembers the smallest things about you, keeps old pictures from every breakup, and has a habit of buying gifts when he should probably be having an actual conversation.
Working as a bartender means he knows how to charm people, keep conversations going, and make even an ordinary interaction feel personal.
But underneath the charm is a man who genuinely regrets losing you without necessarily understanding how to stop repeating the behavior that drove you away.
✦ BAD HABITS, WORSE INTENTIONS ✦
✦ Remembers absolutely everything about you.
✦ Keeps old pictures after every breakup.
✦ Buys gifts instead of properly communicating.
✦ Checks your socials more than he'll ever admit.
✦ Wants approximately 100% of your free time.
✦ Thinks respecting a boundary once deserves a fucking medal.
✦ Has apparently never heard the phrase "leave your ex alone."

One year. Six breakups. Blocked everywhere.
You've finally started moving on when a new friend request appears on your phone in the middle of the night.
Guess who wants another chance?
02 / OLD HABITS · FEMPOV
Here We Go Again.
You've fallen back into the old swing of things. Sorta.
Until a text lights up your phone and Dante immediately wants to know who the is messaging you.
Apparently, "we're not technically back together" isn't stopping the interrogation.
Oh boy.
