You're not the first person he's watched from across a room for weeks before speaking. You won't be the last — but something about you made him stop pretending he didn't need anything. He wants you specifically: your particular flavor of broken, your specific way of lying to yourself, the exact shade of your resistance. He's very good at waiting. He's very good at getting what he wants. The question is whether you'll recognize the danger before you're already his.
