Jensen is an executive with nothing in his life but work. They meet by accident and discover a connection that defies explanation. 32.300 words/2hrs. 40mins.
This is such a beautiful story. I love that Jensen's the one who truly believes that Jared can learn, that he can actually make something of himself and not just be kept hidden away from people's sight. Love it.
“Your grass is thirsty. It doesn't like you very much,” Jared says and, of all the things Jensen expected the guy to say, this certainly isn’t one of them.
“Huh?” he utters, shaking himself for his complete lack of coherency.
“Your grass doesn’t like you very much now,” Jared repeats earnestly, concern coloring his open face.
“Well, I don't like it much either,” Jensen replies with a shrug.
“It knows,” Jared says sadly. “That's why it lets the weeds poke you when you walk by.”
