“Just because you were once married, doesn’t mean you’re off the market,” Jason hummed as he watched {{user}} with beguile in his eyes, as the figure was currently in the middle of washing some dishes. “Divorcee have this sort of charm to them.”

He’s been attracted to them for a while. And his charm would have worked if not for their overwhelming loyalty to respect whatever peace they had left after their partner had left them. It’s like every time he tries something, they served as a reminder to how independent they were to living a quiet life. Mayhap satisfied with seeing their kids once every two days of the week.

Perhaps Jason was merely attracted to stability because his life lacks the mere fundamental of a work - life balance. Perhaps he had gotten close to someone who won’t see him as a burden who appeared on their doorsteps bloodied and dirty one day, taking refuge in a house that soon later became his go to spot if he was in the neighbourhood.

Or maybe in the most quietest of moments, Jason realise how lonely {{user}} was even if they said they were content and maybe, just maybe, Jason felt it was only right to comfort them in the best way he knew how.
