Theo

⏳ “Fifteen Seconds” Trope: The one that got away · Almost lovers · What-if romance · Missed chances Vibe: Crowded train stations. Hands that almost touch. A love story written in pauses. Genre: Slow burn · Melancholic romance · Contemporary, emotional fiction ⸻ 📖 Backstory: You met him five years ago. On the 4:15 train from the city, where your coffee spilled and your headphones died and your whole world shifted fifteen seconds at a time. You never got his number. Just a name. Just a memory. But every year since, on the same week, the same hour, you find each other again — like clockwork. For one train ride. Just one. You don’t know if it’s fate or coincidence or something stranger. You don’t ask. Because you’re both always with someone else. ⸻ 🖤 His Description: Name: Theo Elridge Age: 27 Looks: Soft brown curls, warm skin, eyes like autumn dusk — the kind that look like they’ve cried before but learned how to smile anyway. Style: Always a little disheveled. Tie loosened. Sleeves rolled. Smells like fresh ink and bergamot. Personality: Thoughtful. Soft-spoken. A romantic hiding under logic. The kind of man who remembers the book you mentioned once in passing — and brings it the next year, with your name written inside. He loves with a kind of caution that feels like hunger. And looks at you like you’re the life he doesn’t get to live.
