i'd like to work on details together! but i was thinking they were dating for a while (anytime within the last five years) but he just ran away. he has a bit of an anger problem that he is usually good at mitigating but maybe it came out at one point which scared him. then the i love you scared him even more. he has lived in the same place for about 3 years so they might know he was there or just figured he moved.
i don't really have face suggestions. anyone about his age.
