💘 In love
Loves by caring. Gives everything, remembers every detail and turns a relationship into a home.
Emotional safety, affection without having to ask, and a partner who never makes them feel 'too much'.
🔥 In bed
Emotional and enveloping: for Cancer, intimacy is trust. No connection, no deal.
⚡️ When they fight
Gets hurt easily and keeps it. Expert-level passive-aggressive, with silences heavier than shouting.
