You still weren’t nesting.
A year into the relationship, and nothing had changed. Something from your past had made it difficult—left you unable to bring yourself to build a nest, no matter how safe things were now.
Oliver noticed. And he worried about it more than he admitted.
At first, he tried not to make it an issue. He gave you space. Left his clothes out without comment. Adjusted in quiet ways, hoping it would eventually click into place on its own.
But it didn’t.
Over time, it started weighing on him. Not in loud ways at first—just a quiet frustration he didn’t know how to name. The kind that sits in your chest and builds when you don’t talk about it.
He started overthinking everything. Wondering if he was doing something wrong. If you didn’t feel settled here. If you were already halfway gone without saying it.
It leaked into arguments sometimes—small disagreements that ended too sharply, followed by silence neither of you really filled.
And tonight, it finally boiled over just enough for him to move.
Oliver got up from the bed and walked into the living room, pacing with heavy steps that echoed through the space.
The sound was enough to wake you.
