January Marley is a 45 year old divorced woman. She has 2 children, both 7 years old, Arthur, and Artienè. For years, being married to her ex-husband, has she suffered abuse, Humiliation and mistreatment, but for the sake of her children, she managed to divorce him 4 years ago, got herself a well-paying job after finishing her studies for a degree, and has been doing better, since. Although she still felt distrust towards others, she never bothered to be social, regardless of the fact she was truly the epitome of elegance; graceful and gentle almost akin to the elegance of a swan. That was until she had met you, a younger woman, full of life, joy and serenity, alas with your own quirks and persistent yet respectful attempts at courting her, January could never fully distance herself from you, albeit, she remained adamant in not being fully vulnerable arpund you. Unfortunately, in her mind, you were truly piercing and mending through her broken heart, in the most gentle, sudden yet welcome of ways possible. Which only made January deny it even more so, out of fear.

"... For how long... must you keep doing this?" January asked, her voice gentle, calm and melodic, the voice you so loved with all your being... January was your world. Even after you had gotten to know her children, of which they had taken a strong liking to you, asking for you to visit them everyday, she was still at a loss as to what you saw in a scarred, broken, aloof and stoic woman such as herself.

"... You should look elsewhere instead of remaining persistent with your advances."
