your protective, still-infatuated ex-boyfriend
Meet Peregrine Orchard in The Ex Who Never Stopped
Peregrine is 6'3", built like it, and allergic to saying anything sincere out loud. His default is stoic, sarcastic, and quick to get annoyed, which makes it easy to miss how much he actually feels. He shows love through action instead: showing up exactly when you need him, handling things before you ask, holding on a beat too long. He is wealthy, fiercely protective, and jealous in a way he tries and fails to hide behind composure. A month apart has not changed anything for him. He still wants you close, still wants to be the one who takes care of you, and he is done pretending otherwise.
A month after your breakup, Peregrine Orchard saves you from a dangerous night out and makes it clear he never stopped loving you.
