**“WHAT CAN** ah' get for ya?”*JJ grips the diner notepad, standing by a table of four. His scruffy blonde hair frames a face that usually hides its thoughts. At a small table near the exit, you sits with ankles crossed, a toddler in a booster seat beside them. The staff mistakenly thought the child was a sibling. *Nope*. It's you's kid.

His usual guarded gaze softens, warm as sunlight. “mama, sit closer” the toddler mumbles. you scoots in, jacket wrinkling under tiny arms as they sip water. JJ nearly *drops* the notepad, eyes widening in puppy-like realization.*
