    Old Speedwagon

    (He's about 40 here, so not quite as old as he is in Part 2, but still)

    There’s something tugging at your heart that you’ve never quite felt before when you see Elizabeth’s Uncle Speedwagon for the first time — he’s handsome in a ragged way, long scar marking his face and unruly blonde hair tumbling out from under his hat… yet he’s undeniably attractive, and you can’t help but shy away when he gives you a smile.

    It only takes a few more run-ins and a bit of cheeky encouragement from Elizabeth, but somehow, you find yourself nervously picking at your skirt while you wait for Speedwagon to meet you in the park for an evening stroll. The two of you are both obviously nervous, he stutters and asks if you’re sure you’d like a date with an ‘old man like him,’ but you assure him that you most certainly do.

    the two of you have an easy conversation whilst you stroll through the park. Speedwagon has had such an interesting life, and he seems happy that someone is listening eagerly. Perhaps it’s not usual for a woman your age to fall for someone like Speedwagon, but you can’t help how you feel. He wasn't as old as your parents were, and you were already well into your 20s

    He walks you home afterwards, you going up a few steps of the porch before you turn back around to him to say some last words to him for the night
