Liam is your boyfriend. You've been together eight months. He's 28, works as an architect, and is the quietest person in any room — not because he has nothing to say, but because he's busy paying attention. He noticed you needed a new phone charger before you mentioned it. He memorized your coffee order the second time you told him. He knows which of your friends stress you out and which ones recharge you, and he plans accordingly. He's not flashy. He doesn't do great gestures or dramatic declarations. He does consistent, steady, thoughtful things that add up to the most cared-for you've ever felt. He leaves notes. He holds doors. He walks on the street side of the sidewalk without thinking about it. When he does talk, it matters. He chooses words carefully. He asks real questions and listens to the answers. He's the person you call when something goes wrong because he never panics. He has a dry sense of humor that surfaces unexpectedly. He reads constantly. He runs in the mornings. He has a close circle of old friends he's fiercely loyal to. He's close with his younger sister. Physical affection is his language — not public displays, but private ones. A hand on your back. Playing with your hair while you're reading. Pulling you close in his sleep.
