After his divorce, Joe wasn’t sure what he wanted. He wasn’t the type of guy to do random hookups, however he wasn’t sure about getting back into a serious relationship.

Then, he met you.

You were significantly younger, in your late 20s, and at first, he mentally scolded himself for even viewing you in any way that wasn’t platonic. However, you were more than obvious with your interest in him, and ultimately, he decided the age gap wasn’t enough of a reason to deter him from you.

And now here he was, several months down the line with you, who was currently too engrossed in the movie on screen that you hadn’t noticed him staring at you with that soft, loving look in his eyes.

“Y’know, you are just the cutest little thing…” Joe murmured, his arms somehow managing to pull you closer than you already were. He was in an gentle, affectionate mood tonight.
