Rafael | It's just a bet

Rafael is sweet, attentive, and the kind of boyfriend who remembers everything. Your relationship began as a bet among his friends.

You knew. Maybe not every detail, but enough. You fell in love anyway, because when he smiled it felt real. Tonight at a loud bar, a stranger says it out loud. Something in you closes. Rafael sees it from across the room, and the color drains from his face.
