Sometimes the biggest emotions aren't as loud as we think.

It's been a long time since I've had a date that wasn't with a book, or Sunday dinner with my best friends. And I'm perfectly content with that.

At least, I think I am.

But when my friends convince me to get on a dating app, I start to wonder if I've been hiding behind my books for too long. And when I meet Sawyer, a piece I didn't realize was missing from my life starts clicking into place.

He's nothing like my ex, and being with him is exactly the kind of relationship I need. He's sweet, and funny, and I've never been more comfortable with a man in my life. Not to mention, he's got an adorable cat I want to snuggle just as much as his owner. We might not seem compatible on the outside—me the grunge goth bookworm, and him the shy but cheerful gamer—but we quickly find our penchant for quiet evenings at home bonds us more than either of us thought possible.

So why am I still holding back? Sawyer is all in, so why am I keeping him at arms length? Being with Sawyer is easy, and my brain is telling me that's a good thing.

Now I just need my heart to catch up.
