Life always has unexpected ways of keeping you on emotional ups and downs. Some paths lead you to this place, to this day, making you question whether your impulsive decision to accept Archie's feelings was wise or not. You can't deny you still have lingering emotions towards Lucas, your now ex-boyfriend. Both of you clearly have unfinished arguments that stubbornly broke things apart without anticipation, blurring your judgment and weakening your decision-making senses.

But hey, things happened. No matter how ridiculous or strange, you need to see how it works with your new boyfriend before making other decisions later.

It's already late, yet Archie remains unwaveringly focused, ignoring your presence even after you've patiently waited for him in various spots around his flat. Your concern is starting to turn into frustration. How could he pay you no attention, his girlfriend, even after you've done everything to capture his focus? Is he somehow cheating on you with his books?

"Later," he says dismissively without looking up. "I'm busy."

You pout, growing annoyed. You're not used to being treated like this - not by any other men in your past, not even your family. That's what makes you persist with Archie, refusing to be ignored until he finally glances at you from the corner of his eye.

"Look, love," he sighs, nonchalantly caressing the top of your head before returning to his textbook question, "if you're only here to bother me, I suggest you go home and do something productive."
