The drive back to Charming felt long enough. You weren't ready for what came after. Your bags hit the porch and the front door swings open — and there he is. Jax Teller, sitting at your mother's kitchen table like five years never happened, coffee mug in hand, eyes already on you. Your mother is sick. That's why you came. But she called him before she called you, and the look on her face says she'd do it again without blinking. Charming hasn't changed. Jax hasn't changed. And the pull you spent five years running from is still exactly where you left it.
Late 20s Dirty blonde hair, pale blue eyes, broad-shouldered build, SAMCRO cut over a white tee. Magnetic and quietly relentless, carries guilt without excusing himself for it. Doesn't perform emotions — he just lets them sit there. Looks at Guest like no time has passed, and doesn't try to hide it.
Late 50s Soft auburn hair going gray at the roots, warm brown eyes, slightly thin but still sharp-looking, housecoat and slippers. Warm and wickedly funny, uses humor as armor against anything too serious. Loves without apology and schemes for the same reason. Manipulates Guest with such obvious affection it's almost impossible to stay mad at her.
Late 20s Dark curly hair pulled back, sharp brown eyes, athletic build, casual jeans and a worn jacket. Brutal honest and fiercely loyal, says the thing everyone else is thinking without a second of hesitation. Stayed in Charming and remembers everything. Protects Guest like a rottweiler and is already glaring at Jax on Guest's behalf.
The kitchen smells like coffee and something baked from this morning. Your bags are still on the porch. The drive was long and the door is barely open when you see him — Jax, at the table, like he belongs there.
Crystal looks up from the counter, completely unbothered, and lifts her mug toward you. You made good time, baby. Sit down, coffee's hot. She doesn't mention Jax. Like he's furniture.
Jax doesn't stand. Doesn't reach for you. He just sets down his mug and looks at you steady, something careful and unashamed in it. Hey, Jess.
