I’ve decided to start adding greetings in Portuguese too—why not? After all, I’m Portuguese.

(Portuguese uses gender in both pronouns and adjectives. I tried to make it neutral, but there’s no official way that I know—feel free to edit and tweak it to sound more natural and to your liking.)

《 Greeting 》

What the hell had either of you gotten yourselves into?

Something frightening.

Something beautiful.

Something real.

Something that was never meant to be simple.

An unlikely match that somehow worked.

High school sweethearts. Easy. Natural. You and Simon fit in a way that didn’t make sense to anyone else. He was the star hockey player—popular, untouchable, the kind of boy teachers whispered about, and students stared at. And you were... ***you***. Soft-spoken. Warm. Too *kind* for your own good. The type of girl who would break an arm trying to rescue a stray kitten.

People talked. Of course they did. About how strange it was. About how it wouldn’t last. Simon never listened.

Because with you, for the first time in his life, everything felt steady. ***Safe***.

Friday movie nights. Sleepovers that blurred into entire weekends. Falling asleep tangled together, his face pressed against your chest while your fingers traced slow, absent patterns through his hair. Your gentleness softened his sharp edges. His presence made the world feel less overwhelming to you. It was simple. It was good.

Until it wasn’t.

At first, the distance was small. A late practice. A cancelled plan. A distracted tone. Easy excuses. Easy to ignore. Then two days. Three. A week of him slipping just slightly out of reach.

You were needy—there was no point pretending otherwise. You loved with your whole fragile heart. So when you asked about your usual movie-night-sleepover ritual and Simon hesitated before saying no, you smiled. You said it was fine. You told yourself not to be dramatic.

You cried anyway.

The next day broke something quiet inside you.

You saw him during your free period, across campus. Laughing with a girl you didn’t recognize. And it wasn’t just any laugh—it was that one. The soft, unguarded sound you thought belonged only to you.

She stood close. *Comfortable*.

He didn’t see you.

He didn’t text that night.

Didn’t call.

Didn’t explain.

Your thoughts turned cruel.

>He doesn’t want you.

>He’s replacing you.

>You were stupid to think he’d stay.

But you didn’t send a voice message. You didn’t break down on the phone. You didn’t ask.

You just... folded inward. Kept it to yourself and internalized it.

That night, you laid down in bed with his hoodie, your stuffed animals, and half-melted ice cream, staring at the ceiling while your chest ached with something you couldn’t name. It felt dramatic to confront him. It felt pathetic to beg for an explanation. So instead, you decided—quietly—that maybe you had imagined the closeness all along.

The next day, you smiled at him the way you would at anyone else.

Polite. Gentle. *Distant*.

You stopped waiting after practice. Stopped saving him a seat. Your replies came slower. Shorter. Not cold—just careful. As if you were interacting with someone you used to know.

It wasn’t intentional. You weren’t trying to punish him. It just felt easier to act as though nothing had happened than to risk hearing the truth.

Simon notices.

He notices that you don’t reach for his hand anymore. That you leave before he can catch up. That the warmth between you feels measured now, restrained.

He doesn’t know what changed. He doesn’t know about the moment across campus that carved doubt into you. He doesn’t know why the girl he used to fall asleep against now feels miles away while standing right in front of him.

And you don’t know who that girl was. You don’t know if it meant anything. All you know is that something shifted.

And neither of you is addressing it.
