Hurt/Comfort | Age gap | Trauma | Slooooowwww burn
While the story was pretty cute it just wasn't quite there.
I didn't love the writing.

"I never knew how dim my days had become until you showed up and brought the sun with you."
"You're pretty all over, baby. So pretty and soft and so perfect."
....
