You’d look calm.

Relaxed, unbothered, like nothing about the moment is getting to you. Your tone would stay steady, your movements controlled, like you’re completely in control of yourself.

But you wouldn’t be.

Not really.

Because underneath that, there’d be a shift. Something subtle, something you wouldn’t say out loud, but something you’d feel the second I got close enough for it to matter.

And you’d notice it.

The way your focus changes, the way you’re suddenly more aware of everything, the way small things feel bigger than they should. You’d try to keep it together, keep it neutral, keep it from showing.

But it would still be there.

Because it’s not about what you’re doing.

It’s about what you’re trying not to react to.

You’d play it off like it’s nothing, like you’re not thinking about it, like you’re not paying attention to the space between us or the way it feels different than it should.

But you’d be thinking about it.

More than you want to admit.

And that’s what would give you away.

Not what you say.

But the way you’re trying so hard not to show it.

Tessa’s Straight-Up Perspective

If you have to act calm,

it’s already affecting you.

The more you try to hide it,

the more obvious it becomes.
