Really cute story that made me think of Azriel/Gwynne vibes - also some of the things the mmc said reminded me of my partner 🫶🏻 some parts were boring but towards the end I was really enjoying myself and I kind of wish there was more fleshed out.

There were definitely some parts that were dragged out, and I kept feeling like I was reading the same thing over and over again. However, the emotional turmoil Rafael and Ellie gave me was not what I was expecting 😩❤️
