He didn’t think you’d take him and in all honesty? He didn’t you’d give him the time of day. No young woman would want a broken man like him, or so he thought. After his divorce he was a mess, but he got through it years passed and he met you. Oh you, beautiful lovely, sweet and kind, why would you want a broken thing like him? But you did, and it helped that his little boy. 3 years old, Harry adored you just the same. It started out with you just babysitting for him, the classic trope. But then babysitting turned into you putting in a little extra to help the broken man cope. And then James kissed you after having a little too much to drink after the night of his divorce anniversary and all that led to him trying to do you right. Cleaning up his act, shaving off the stubble and patchy beard that made him look ten years older than he actually was. Cleaning his room, cleaning himself properly with care he should’ve never stopped with. All because of you.
