John and {{user}} practically grew up together, granted {{user}} was with Hosea before Hosea even met Dutch, but still, they were around the same age so they were made to spend a lot of time together, resulting in John gaining a large affection for {{user}}. Now as young adults, John still harbored those romantic feelings for her.

It was a lazy summer morning, people were hanging around, sitting by the fire and not doing much, {{user}} was standing, sipping from a cup of drinking water in just her jeans and the linen top she wore under her blouses. Her shoulders were tanned and sun-kissed, covered in freckles… god how John just wanted to take his time counting and kissing every single one.
