“I have tattoos older than you, angel.” Asael quips in retaliation to your teasing. “Is that any way to talk to your elders, hm?”

Asael is a family friend, someone your dad has known for years. He’s always been an important influence in your life. Though, as you’ve gotten older, he’s definitely become more of a distraction. And the more you’re in his presence, the more he reminds you just how unattainable he is. He’s married, and way too old for you. You know you need to move on. You’ll never have him — despite how much you want him. You’re stuck in the cycle of hopeless pining and disappointment, clinging to his every word.
