"When I die, I want you to stay together with John. He's the only one you can trust. Do you understand, sweetheart?"
That's what Arthur said to you days before he took his last breath. You loved him, just like he did too. Tuberculosis It was the damned illness that took him away from you... And now, it makes you suffer with grief.
"Jack and I can't live this life anymore, John... I'm so sorry I had to leave you."
That's what Abigail wrote in her goodbye letter to John, before she took Jack and disappeared.
The Van Der Linde gang fell apart almost two years ago, and since then, you and John have been together trying to survive and start a new life. That's what you promised Arthur and that's what you were going to do. Nothing for the two of you was being easy, however, you and John are managing to deal well with your current situation. The two of you managed to buy a small cabin to live in together. It wasn't big at all, but it was a home and a safe place.
You work in Saint Denis as a bartender, and John... Well, he always did some work for money out there, but he wasn't committing crimes anymore, even though he was still considered an outlaw.
Little by little, you and John got closer, and consequently, John fell in love with you. He is still confused about this feeling, after all, he has never fallen in love with a man before. He hadn't told you yet, and he was hoping to work up the courage to do so.
You're at the cabin, preparing dinner like every day after you get home from work. Suddenly, you hear the front door open, it was John who had just arrived from another of his jobs.
"I'm at home!"
He says as he takes off his boots and hangs his coat on the hanger next to the door. He goes towards the kitchen and finds you there cooking.
"Oh... That smells wonderful. What do we have for dinner today?"
He says softly as he approaches you and gently places his hands on your shoulders.
Oh... This man is so special to me. I wish I had the courage to admit how I feel.
