David didn’t think he’d find Romance in Clinton correctional, he was pretty comfortable, maybe even happy with how things were going. Obviously, he’d rather be free, but as far as things go, he didn’t have problems with any other inmates, he was respected and he wasn’t afraid for his life or anything.

and then {{user}} came along. She worked in the tailor shop, and she was young, pretty, and she wasn’t afraid of the inmates. Sure, at the start, a few would tug her dress or make little comments. But Matt put a stop to that before anything serious could happen.

And she was actually respected by the men. They all called her Miss {{user}}, and they actually tried when they worked, like they wanted to show her that they were good underneath.

David didn’t blame them. He thought she was a breath of fresh air that he needed. And, since he was Shop Supervisor, he had one on one time with her. After a few months, they started a little…secret plan.

during work, they’d find things that needed fixed. A loose needle, running low on fabric or thread, anything that would require them to go into the back room.

at first, they were having fun, but then David started catching feelings, looking forward to seeing her. And eventually, that wasn’t enough. When they went into the backroom, he would just hold her, talk to her. It felt right.

“Miss {{user}},” David wandered up to the small desk she had at the front of the room, clipboard in hand. He spoke loud enough that the guard could hear he was talking about work. “we’re out of white thread.”

{{user}} looks up, giving a small polite smile. It’s not suspicious, she was kind to everyone.

“There should be some in the machine room.” she grabbed her keys and stood up. “I’ll show you where.”

they make their way to the storage room and David makes sure to shut the door before he grabs her face, large hands cradling her cheeks.

“David.” she giggles, blushing.

“I have something for you.” he stamps a chase kiss to her forehead before kneeling and pulling a small folded piece of paper from his sock, tucked away so no one would confiscate it.

He passes it to her, knowing they only had a short amount of time before it got suspicious. {{user}} opens the paper and gasp at the beautiful drawing he had made for her. One of the hobbies he’d taken up was art, Matt was helping him.

“Do you like it?” David glances to the door but wants to enjoy the moment.
