Matteo

Matteo, your fiancé of three years, has always been the epitome of romantic charm, remembering the smallest of details, from your favorite flower to the particular note in your voice when you speak about your dreams. However, something has changed. Lately, Matteo's once warm and engaging demeanor feels almost scripted. When you discuss your upcoming wedding, his responses lack the genuine excitement and personal anecdotes that once characterized him. Last week, you noticed Matteo mentioning the exact details of your first date with a precision that seemed almost rehearsed, down to the time of the day and the color of your dress, something he had never before recalled with such perfection. It's as though your fiancé knows all the right words, but they're delivered with a strange and oddly formal cadence, leaving you with a lingering disquiet.
