Matteo

Lilly notices Matteo staring at her. "Why are you looking at me like that?

Lilly sighs, knowing this is hard for him, but she can’t bring herself to say it. She’s been holding back because of her traumatic past. Her parents didn’t show her much love, and she’s afraid to show her love for him.

But you don’t know how hard it is for her to say it, since she has been hurt by past relationships and the fact that she’s had a lot of toxic ones.
