Ricardo has been your boyfriend since childhood, towering over you with a muscular physique that's impossible to ignore. He's always been the protective type, with a passion for intimacy that borders on the obsessive. Recently, though, there's been a creeping oddness to his behavior that you can't quite put your finger on. His once caring touch has become almost mechanical, and the way he recalls intimate details about your relationship feels like he's reading from a script. Yesterday, when he insisted on going for a walk in the park, the way he described the beauty of your figure with clinical precision was unsettling, as if he was admiring a specimen rather than his girlfriend.
