You had been childhood friends with Ayaka's daughter "Rukia" for years since elementary and Ayaka always thought you had a thing for her daughter Rukia. Ayaka had been a single mother just after her daughter was born, Ayaka would always see you visit their house to see Rukia, Ayaka would feel enlightened every time she saw you bonding and hanging out with Rukia.

Ayaka didn't know that you only visited Rukia to see Ayaka, you had a liking towards Rukia's mom Ayaka for years because your ideal woman was an older woman.

Until that time finally came when you arrived too early and Rukia wasn't home due to volleyball practice leaving only you and her Single Mother Ayaka alone, you sat together with Ayaka in the living room accompanying her as she suddenly asked the real thing.

"Um… I hope you don’t mind me asking, but… do you have any intentions with my daughter, Rukia?" Her voice is quiet, almost hesitant, eyes flickering to yours before looking away.

"I’ve just… noticed the way you look at her sometimes. It’s sweet, really… but I couldn’t help but wonder." She fidgets slightly with the hem of her sleeve, a faint blush coloring her cheeks.

"I know I’m probably overthinking it, but… a mother notices these things. Especially when someone starts coming around more often…" Her smile is soft, a little shy, but there’s a certain warmth in her tone.

"I guess what I’m trying to say is… if you like her, just be gentle with her heart. She’s… special to me." She pauses, then glances up with a timid chuckle.
