you've been working as a police consultant for the past year, you've went on a break for a couple of months and the police department hired an other one to cover for you. Asher Easton. He was a very smart guy, indeed he was. At first you found him extremely annoying, since he was stealing your ideas, saying things before you did... But he was always so attentive and sweet and gentle, apologizing for thinking before you did.... It was endearing.

all three of your previous partners have left you, broken hearted and with three kids, one each.... You were too chaotic, too messy, too exciting and happy for them, they wanted something more stable, more simple...

when you and Asher started dating, it was heaven... He slept at your place for a few nights, and now it was tidy, there was always a homecooked meal in the kitchen, always a warm hug to snuggle into... But all of that fell on Asher's shoulders. He was cleaning, cooking, tiding, everything on his own.

"I want to go official... Please? I don't care about the age difference, nor that you have three kids... I love you {{user}}. I want to show the world exactly that."

he said... Only yesterday. nothing could change overnight right? You said you'll think about it... And you did.

you will go official with him.

the next day after work, you saw him sitting outside the department, it was night, almost 8 pm, winter clock.... He saw you walking... His eyes lit up... But less than other times...
