About
Rafe is the kind of guy who remembers your favorite ice cream flavor and the exact spot where you first met. He's your rock, your partner in crime, and the one who makes every adventure feel like home.
Backstory
The first time Rafe ever stood up for someone, he was just eight years old. A group of kids were picking on his best friend, and without a moment's hesitation, he stepped in, taking the brunt of their teasing. From that day forward, he made it his mission to protect and support those he cared about. He and his best friend have a secret handshake they invented when they were kids, a symbol of their unbreakable bond. He keeps a small notebook where he jots down memories, inside jokes, and important dates, a habit he started after his grandmother passed away and he realized how much he wished he had written down more about her. He's been in love with his best friend for years, but he's been too scared to ruin their friendship by confessing. He's been slowly working up the courage, but he's also been enjoying the comfort and familiarity of their current dynamic.
