‘She’s looking at you,’ Luke said, glancing towards Jess before returning his attention back to the napkin holders he’d been in the middle of restocking.

‘What?’ Jess asked, looking up confusedly from where he’d been diligently refilling ketchup bottles.

‘She’s looking at you,’ Luke repeated, not bothering to look at him.

‘Who is?’ Jess asked scanning the diner but finding no one facing his way.

‘That girl,’ Luke said as his eyes flicked to the window forcing Jess’ to follow where he found a girl standing on the other side. Lauren. He knew her from school and though they’d had very little interaction he had noticed she’d been coming into the diner quite a bit recently. He hadn't thought anything of it but the way Luke’s mouth turned up in a smirk, as if there was something he hadn’t disclosed, made a scowl fall on his face.

‘No she isn’t,’ Jess grunted, pulling another ketchup bottle towards him so he had an excuse not to look in his uncle’s direction.

‘She’s looked in here at least twenty times in the last few minutes,’ Luke said.

‘She’s looking in the diner,’ Jess protested, his irritation flaming further as Luke smirked and shrugged.

‘If you say so,’ he mused.

Jess didn’t bother retorting because he knew it was pointless. Whilst Jess was an expert at getting under his uncle’s skin Luke seemed to be just as versed in riling up the younger man and so he chose to let it go knowing it would only lead to more teasing. And as the bell above the door tinkled, signalling someone was coming into the diner, he was glad he had because he didn’t exactly want to get into an argument about a girl liking him not when the girl he actually liked was walking through the door.

He watched as Rory came in, surveying the place for a seat, but when their eyes met her face fell into a glare and she headed towards a table in the corner. Followed to his surprise by Lauren. Jess groaned internally. Of course they had to come in together. He could practically feel Luke’s smugness radiating out of him so determined not to give him the satisfaction of insisting Jess go take their order he bit the bullet and headed to their table anyway.

Rory looked up as he came over, annoyance still plastered across her face that made his heart sink. He supposed he shouldn’t have been surprised. He’d heard from Luke that his little stunt of basket buying had caused a rift between her and Lorelai as well as her and the lanky idiot she called a boyfriend and yet he had hoped beyond hope that after their ‘date’ her feelings might have started to change. He knew she liked him, probably as much as he liked her, yet she was just too blinded by what others thought to let herself do anything about it. It made his heart hurt because she was the only person in this ludicrous town that he actually liked, well save for Luke and even then that was because it was sort of a requirement given that they were family.

‘Hey,’ he said hoping if he came in with a voice that could lend itself to being an apology without him having to utter one it'd be enough to turn her mood.

‘Cheeseburger and fries,’ she said coolly, ‘and a coffee.’

Jess’s heart sank.

‘Rory-’

‘Have you decided what you’re having?’ she asked cutting him off as she looked towards Lauren whose eyes snapped up, flitting between them both.

‘Oh uh not yet,’ Lauren said sheepishly, her eyes falling back on the page as she tried with haste to pick something.

‘You should come back,’ Rory said dismissively and suddenly Jess felt his disappointment at being in her bad books turn to irritation.

‘No it’s okay,’ Jess said, ‘I’ll wait.’

And so the pair waited, watching each other irritably until finally Lauren caught their attention and said, ‘Uh I’ll just have the same.’

‘Coffee too?’ Jess asked.

‘Uh no, diet coke,’ she said earning a nod from Jess before he headed back to the counter, practically slamming the ticket down on the counter earning another look from his uncle. Jess didn’t say anything, instead, he moved back to the job he had been doing before they'd even come in, albeit a little rougher than he had been previously.

He couldn’t help it. He didn’t know why she got under his skin so much. How he could like her and be frustrated by her simultaneously. Though it wasn’t even her that irritated him. No, his irritation was caused by the fact he knew it wasn’t her. Like the whole god-forsaken basket thing. He knew she wasn’t all that bothered about it in fact he could tell she'd actually enjoyed herself yet she was still letting others tell her how she felt. That’s what irritated him.

As he glanced back to where they were sitting he hoped that she would be looking at him but she wasn’t. She was talking, her eyes on the girl in front of her though Lauren didn’t seem to be paying much attention because her gaze was looking towards the counter. As their eyes met she turned a slight shade of pink, moving her attention back to Rory as quickly as she could and as he kept his eyes fixed on her he noticed they kept peeking his way seeing if he was still looking. And in that moment he had an idea.

It was just a small thing at first, like a seed being planted in his brain, but as he carried their order to their table and found Rory refusing to pay him any attention yet again he found it growing.

‘One burger with a diet coke,’ he said placing a plate in front of Lauren.

‘Thanks Jess,’ she said politely.

‘And one with a coffee,’ he said placing another plate in front of Rory who looked at him but said nothing and instead reached for the ketchup on the table. The seed was growing now, the idea in full bloom. If Rory wanted to play stupid, if she wanted to pretend that she wasn’t having feelings every bit as much as he was then fine. He could move past it too. Hell, why not do it with someone he was sure liked him? And so before he could stop the words from coming out of him he said, ‘Uh Lauren?’

‘Yeah?’ she asked, covering her mouth to conceal the bite of burger she had taken given she wasn’t anticipating any questions.

‘Would you wanna hang out tonight?’ he asked looking directly at her. Though he refused to look in Rory's direction he could guess how her face looked at that minute, the panicked look Lauren shot her only confirming his suspicions.

‘Oh, uh,’ she said hesitantly glancing away from him until something flickered on her face that he couldn't read. He didn’t know what it was but it didn’t really matter because after a second she said, ‘Sure.’

‘Meet at the bandstand at seven?’ Jess asked.

‘Okay,’ she said and with that Jess strode away trying to harbour all of his willpower not to look back at Rory.

✵✵✵

This was a stupid idea. Jess didn’t know what he'd even been thinking asking Lauren out and yet here he was on a date in the vaguest sense of the word with a girl he didn’t even like. Well, it wasn’t that he didn’t like her she was sweet enough it was just that well she wasn’t Rory. With Rory he could be himself. Rory he knew how to act around. Around her he didn’t know how to act. They'd met at the bandstand and after a quick walk around the town they'd almost completely exhausted all talking points so she suggested they go see a movie. Jess had agreed but the theatre was closed which meant they'd had to rent one and head back to the diner, ignoring Luke’s smirk as they'd headed upstairs to watch it. He supposed it wasn’t all bad. The movie was decent but as it had started to wrap up he’d panicked suddenly realising he didn’t exactly know how to throw her out. After all, it had been her idea to come over and once inside their awkwardness had melted away, her mood lifting once they were completely alone.

And so as the credits rolled and she turned to look at him he’d kissed her. He knew it wasn’t a great idea and that if she did like him he'd only be leading her on but he couldn’t stop himself. Which is how they'd found themselves to be making out for the past half hour.

He knew he shouldn’t. He knew it was stupid and unfair to her but as his hand moved up under her shirt, eliciting a breathy moan from her lips his guilt went out of the window. Well until it was brought straight back in through the door as Luke entered, clearing his throat which made the pair of them leap apart, throwing themselves on either end of the couch as if they hadn't just been wrapped around one another.

‘Sorry to interrupt,’ Luke said and before Jess could say anything Lauren jumped up to answer, turning to look at his uncle over the back of the couch as she said, ‘it’s okay. Everything alright?’

‘Yeah I just needed Jess for something but it’s alright he can do it later I can see he’s busy,’ Luke said.

‘Oh it’s okay,’ Lauren said with a smile.

‘It might take a while,’ Luke said making her shrug.

‘If you need him you need him,’ she said.

‘Well uh great, Jess?’ Luke said offering her a smile though Jess didn’t fail to spot the confused glance he threw him. Jess didn’t fail to notice it because he was feeling just as confused as he was. After all it had been her suggestion to come up here. She'd been the one to let him kiss her. Then again maybe she was looking for an out. A polite way to have an excuse to leave though that thought was stomped out as she said, ‘actually I think I might come down too. Grab something to eat.’

‘Well sure,’ Luke said, ‘on the house.’

‘You don’t have to do that,’ Lauren said bashfully.

��No, it's okay. What with me ruining your date,’ Luke said, ‘uh Jess?’

‘Yeah,’ Jess said, though he was still looking at Lauren who was watching his uncle, a smile on her face.

‘Just come down when you’re ready,’ Luke said.

‘Yeah sure,’ Jess said non-committally and after one last look at the pair of them Luke headed out of the room.

It was only then did Lauren turn from where she had been kneeling up on the couch, slipping back into her seat only to find Jess watching her with narrowed eyes. Again that blush she'd had when he’d looked at her in the diner earlier came back only now Jess was sure it wasn’t because of him.

‘What?’ she asked self-consciously.

‘You like Luke,’ Jess said finding himself just as surprised as she was when the words came out of his mouth. As if the idea hadn't truly settled in until he had said them aloud and even then they didn’t land completely, well not until the pink tinge on her cheeks darkened only confirming his suspicions. As did the way she said ‘what?’

‘Luke,’ he said firmly hoping she wouldn’t try and take him for an idiot not now that it was blatantly obvious, ‘you like Luke.’

‘What are you talking about?’ she scoffed.

‘Luke,’ he said pressing his point, ‘surly, hates everyone, flannel toting, cap wearing Luke.’

‘No I don’t,’ she said with a scowl.

‘Oh come on!’ Jess said rolling his eyes.

‘I don’t!’ she protested.

‘Sure you don’t,’ he scoffed, ‘you know I should be offended. Here I was thinkin’ you like me and all you were here to do was ogle Luke.’

‘Yeah well you like Rory,’ she said snappily folding her arms across her chest as she challenged him, waiting for him to deny it.

‘What?’ he said cursing himself for using the tactic she had employed for her denials though he needed thinking time. Yet she didn’t let up.

‘You heard me. You like Rory. That’s why you asked me out right? To make her jealous,’ she said.

‘She’s with that gormless idiot what do I care,’ Jess said fully aware that it wasn’t a complete denial but enough of one not to completely bruise his ego.

‘Oh come on!’ she said.

They fell silent for a moment the pair of them looking at each other challengingly. With anyone else Jess probably would’ve denied it. It was none of their business who he liked, but with her, he couldn’t. He couldn’t deny it to her because she understood given that the pair of them had agreed to this ludicrous date knowing they had no feelings for the other party involved. And because of that he felt closer to her than he had all night.

‘Okay fine,’ Jess grumbled, fiddling with one of the corners of a cushion on the couch so he had an excuse not to look at her, ‘if I admit you might be right about Rory would you at least admit you only came here because you like Luke.’

‘Fine,’ she said.

‘Okay fine…I like Rory,’ he admitted, not daring to look up for a moment. When he did however she was watching him, a sad smile on her face as she said, ‘I like Luke.’

‘Really?’ he asked unable to keep the judgement from his tone though he didn’t take it to heart and merely shrugged.

‘I know it’s stupid given he’s old enough to be my dad but…I don’t know I just…do.’

‘Yeah,’ Jess grumbled, ‘guess you can't pick who you like.’

‘At least Rory could like you back,’ she reasoned making his heart twinge at the thought, at the hope.

He decided to sidestep that idea. She was Rory's friend and though she would no doubt have an insight into the whole situation he didn’t yet have he wasn’t sure he wanted to open that box for fear she might tell him something he didn’t like. After all, she had said Rory could like him back. Not that she did. As his heart twinged again he shook the thought out of his head and said, ‘so, what now?’

‘Well our date went to hell given that neither of us like each other,’ she said.

‘True,’ he smirked, ‘though the making out wasn’t bad.’

‘Fair point,’ she smiled, ‘though I suppose that’s kinda over now.’

‘Yeah probably,’ Jess said, ‘unless...’

‘Unless?’ she asked.

‘Well I don’t really wanna go and help Luke with whatever you signed me up for,’ he said, ‘and are you even hungry?’

‘Not really,’ she admitted.

‘Well then,’ he said leaning in with his signature lopsided smile, ‘wanna make out?’

She seemed to think about it for a minute and then smiled.

‘What the hell.’

Thank you!!

↯ 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐈 𝐆𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐆𝐎?

pairings — teen dad! jess mariano x y/n

warnings — none!! (unedited tho so…)

word count — 2.9k

a/n — i’m not the biggest fan of how this turned out (feels lowk out of character even tho i typically write jess best bc i am him), but i LOVEDDDD this plot. i plan on making a part two if that’s something you guys would want!! also dad! jess is my fav (as you guys know) so to have him be bowie’s dad??? FUCKING LOVEEE.

BEING SENT TO STARS HOLLOW was worse than one would imagine. especially for jess mariano, a kid who'd been taken from his hometown and placed in a small apartment above a diner with an uncle he hardly knows. this would be enough to drive one mad, one could presume. but to make matters worse, he was leaving behind his son.

the moment liz danes found out her sixteen year old son had gotten a girl pregnant, she freaked out. as any mother would do. but liz wasn't just any mother, she was (to put it lightly) a whack-job. so she spiraled when she figured this one out. what happened when liz danes spiraled you may ask? who was there for her? her sane big brother, luke.

the practical idea seemed to be sending jess to the quaint down of stars hollow. a place where liz grew up, where she knew luke would keep an eye on him. where she also knew he couldn't cause any havoc. and his world wouldn't become corrupt like hers, being a teen parent.

the months of the pregnancy was difficult to be away. y/n was just a girl he'd met at a party, he was sick and tired of his mother's new boyfriend's hurtful words. y/n was going through something similar and they decided they'd lean on one another one night. until three weeks later when she called jess asking him to coffee, and surprising him with something much more. y/n was scared, as any pregnant sixteen year old would be. being without jess didn't help her case.

the teenage boy didn't let the separation get to them however. his nights sneaking out were spent at a phone booth in the middle of town, talking to y/n about everything and anything. his breaks at the diner were calling to ask about doctors appointments. sure, she had just been a girl he'd met at a party. but the emotional bond of a baby knitted the two together. they were scared kids, they had no one but one another. so they became much more than kids who once went to a party. they were friends.

when y/n went into labor, jess ran out of school like his life depended on it. hoping into his car and speeding back to new york. luckily making it so he could see his son born just in time. his first time meeting his son was only his fourth time seeing y/n. the fourth of many, many visits. stars hollow became less and less entertaining to him as time went on. especially after coming back almost two weeks after his son was born. the pranks, the stealing, the teasing around with this girl rory... it wasn't anything to him. he missed his son, he missed the woman who had his son. jess mariano wanted to be with his family. because for the first time in his life, he had a family. someone loved him, and he loved someone.

"1984 is the most overrated 'classic' book i've ever read," rory gilmore smiled at jess with a teasing look. now, almost a year after his son's birth, jess mariano was nearing eighteen. his adolescence was coming to an end (although it did when the stick turned pink). the toying around was still very much in his nature. hence the conversation with the good girl in a pink sweater.

"nu uh, it's a classic. you can't just hate on 1984," jess counters while standing behind the diner's countertop. the diner was slow, despite it being around the early afternoon and a sunday. which is why two teenagers were sharing false opinions like it was bible. he didn't like her — he was sure of that. ever since bowie mariano was born (guess who named him), jess's feelings had become aware. the love he felt for his son was prominent in his everyday life. unlike anything he'd ever felt before. it was hard for him to even imagine ever having feelings for someone. not when being a dad was his number one priority.

"you're just saying that," rory laughed at his words once more. her late night talks with her mother about jess seeming to not be recalled. the ones where lorelai stressed to rory what jess was going through as a teen parent, something she knew all too well. especially being away from his kid. in her eyes, he was a christopher who'd left his rory. lorelai didn't exactly want her daughter involved with that. but it was hard to resist when he kept giving rory that james dean look. matched with the leather jacket and the book references.

"when are you going to see bowie?" lorelai asked the teenage boy, attempting to remind her daughter of his priorities. jess didn't see this as a question with ulterior motives. he knew lorelai had a deep understanding of him, whether she'd like to admit it or not. "soon, hopefully."

"is y/n liking her new place?" luke questions genuinely from lorelai's side, being reminded of jess's child's mother who he'd grown fond of. "it's kinda hard to like a place where you're crashing on your friend's sofa bed." jess scoffs, being reminded of his friend's condition. when y/n had first gotten pregnant, jess was aware of the darkness in her home. especially when she freaked out to him one night. the first time they opened up to one another. she was too scared to tell her dad about the baby, knowing he'd hurt her.

less than two years later, y/n was emancipated. working a part-time job in the city. where her friends helped watch bowie when necessary. along with (hesitantly) liz, whenever jess made sure she was sober and had an okay boyfriend. it was a lonely life: just like jess's.

"that poor girl," lorelai commented with a sympathetic look making jess's stomach twist. he hated thinking about the living conditions of his family, he hated thinking of being apart from them. but when he did, he couldn't stop. which is why that night, when luke came upstairs to the apartment after closing, jess stopped him to have a serious conversation. "can i talk to you?"

luke searched his nephew's face for sincerity once he heard those words. curious if this was gonna be a 'steely dan sucks' conversation or an actual serious one. a rare option for the teenage boy. "yeah, what's up?"

there was a deep expression anguished on jess's face as he sat at the table. he was clearly unsure how to put his words, which was prominent in his eyes. "i... i can't be away from bowie anymore. i can't let y/n live in that shithole. they're my responsibility."

luke heard his nephew's words clearly. he agreed with every word, a sigh erupting when he processed the stress his teenage nephew was experiencing over this. "where are you going with this, jess?" the diner owner questioned with a calm tone. he still wanted the best for his nephew. he still wanted him to finish high school and start a worthy life. one he didn't want to be started by running off to new york and working to provide for his family. "i need to be with them one way or another. i can't be away from bowie, i can't do that to my kid. i can't be my dad."

"you're not, kid. you're nothing like jimmy, i'm telling you that right now. you would do anything to be with bowie and that proves you're better than him," luke explained before letting out a sigh and nodding his head. "you're a good guy, jess."

a conversation continued throughout the night until the two finally came to a conclusion. or at least luke did. taking matters into his own hands, he picked up the phone once his nephew hit the pillow. a hushed tone rushing into verses of explanations until it all made sense.

the next morning, jess mariano woke up like any other day. not too long after he woke up he went down to the diner to get started on work. his thanksgiving break had begun, so his monday would be spent annotating a new book for his son in between rush hours. it was when two familiar faces entered the diner that he hardly glanced up, noticing the gilmores immediately. "hey jess, how's it going?"

"well, i'm not bleeding or anything so..." jess shrugged towards the woman while he scribbled in a final note for an older bowie. rory kept her eyes on him while luke handed the two mugs of coffee. he had something in his head, especially when he kept glancing out the window every few seconds. "that's good," lorelai nodded before turning to luke.

"what are you reading now? more jane austen?" rory teased while eyeing the boy and taking a sip of her warm coffee. his eyes didn't dare look up from her while he shut the book, "uh huh." he nodded with a thin lipped smile. rory noticed the children's book in his hands and grinned, "didn't know you were that behind. that makes sense with your book taste though."

"this is bowie's, i'm just writing some stuff in the margins for him for when he learns to read," jess shrugged without noticing the sudden change in demeanor when he mentioned his son. the baby had never been to stars hollow. jess also rarely brought up his son to anyone, especially stars hollow-ers. miss patty and babette already whispered about the rebellion enough as it was. he didn't need to add to it by opening up to people who didn't care about him. "oh... that's sweet," rory forced a smile before sinking down into her seat. she felt shorter.

jess picked up the coffee to begin to refill a few cups throughout the diner. his stance was interrupted once the diner phone began to ring, luke noticed this quickly. it wasn't long before he grabbed the coffee from jess's hand and hardly offered to do refills for him instead. jess knew luke was up to something but hesitantly took the phone call, "luke's."

"nice greeting," a voice echoed on the other side making jess's infamous smirk spread across his face. y/n. "well, i thought i'd ask you to marry me. but i was worried our meat supplier was on the other line," jess teased into the phone while his hand went in his pocket. he subconsciously turned around so his back was to the rest of the diner. wanting to be alone with y/n, as if that was possible through this.

"thought so," y/n hummed with an obvious smile. "hey, bowie's missing his dad."

"is bowie's mom also missing bowie's dad?" jess asked with his typical teasing tone towards his friend. "bowie's mom may be. but she doesn't exactly want to give him the satisfaction of that. bowie's dad is very cocky," y/n says through the phone while luke spots something through the window and smiles.

the sound of the bell was a familiar one. reminding the people in the diner that someone had arrived. jess was so used to it now that he didn't bat an eye typically, but this time he glanced around his shoulder for a moment. his eyes glancing back at the figure stood infront of the door. jess's brown eyes locked on them for a second as he dropped the wired phone and bolted past the counter to them.

stood before his eyes was y/n and bowie. the eleven month old was in her arms with a pacifier between his lips. y/n wore a smile while she placed her phone in her pocket with a free hand. she was engulfed in jess's scent immediately as he threw the two into his arms. cigarettes, cheap cologne, and coffee erupting comfortably into her. "hey, watch out i have a baby."

jess ignored her words, but lightened his grip on her while taking bowie out of her arms to hold him. "bowie, hey..." his voice trailed off as he held onto his son. he was interrupted with emotion by being with his son once again. because as much as fatherhood was something he never wished upon himself, ever desired whatsoever, it had turned into the best thing that ever happened to him.

"hi kid," luke greeted the teenage girl while walking over to give her a side hug. he turned his attention towards jess who was hugging his baby with a grin he hadn't seen in awhile. "i thought about our talk last night, jess. you were right."

jess glanced over at his uncle before looking back at y/n with a smile. which shocked even him, because a smile was not something he'd done while being in stars hollow. "so..." luke's voice trailed off while he gave the floor to y/n. who took it and looked at jess, "i think bowie needs to be with his dad... and his mom."

the group shared a few looks, mixed with confusion and happiness. "i asked lorelai for a favor, y/n and bowie are gonna stay at the inn for a few weeks. until you guys can figure out a place." luke started with a nod. "you're gonna be eighteen in a few months, you're gonna graduate in a few months. i want you to do that, jess. so, i brought you some courage... as cheesy as that sounds."

jess looked between the two for a moment before sharing a nod with his uncle, as if a thank you in their own language.

"hey, i'm lorelai. it's nice to meet you i've heard so much about you. we seem to have a lot in common," lorelai interjected as she walked over and introduced herself to y/n. y/n knew her fair share of scoop of the town. her daily phone calls to jess were hardly just baby talk. she'd spent a lot of them telling him to go out with lorelai's daughter, who seemed good for him. but every-time... something was holding him back. "yeah you too, i'm y/n. thank you for everything, by the way. you really didn't have to let me."

"c'mon we're moms, we help eachother out. we can be like desperate housewives. but with no men," lorelai smiled while giving y/n's hand a squeeze. "oh! this is my bowie, rory."

"hey," y/n greeted with an awkward wave towards the other teenage girl who still seemed in shock by the situation. she forced a smile and waved, "hey."

the dispute was a lot more awkward than y/n could have hoped. but a sense of envy had taken over the both of them as they reflected on past or current relations with jess. an awkwardness that washed away quickly when y/n’s eyes locked back on jess and her son. a favorite sight of hers.

“c’mon,” jess nodded towards y/n while she took the baby out of his arms. he grabbed her bag and placed a free hand on her back, mumbling goodbyes before exiting the diner with his two. the three took the scenic tour towards the inn. bowie cracking a million smiles at the tons of birds in sight. the two teenagers reciprocating the action with shared giggles at the baby’s happiness.

the moment they entered the room, jess sat down with bowie to let y/n unpack a little bit. while the two caught up on unspoken things. “so… that was rory,” y/n says suggestively while unpacking her toiletries in the bathroom. jess was sprawled out on the bed with bowie in his arms, playing superman. he turned to her once she erupted from the bathroom and took a seat beside him. “that was rory.”

“she’s pretty,” y/n nodded with a small smile. in an attempt to be polite about jess’s possible love interest, yet he seemed hardly interested when bowie was around. “i guess,” jess shrugged before holding bowie back up in his arms. “have you asked her out yet?”

“i’m not too focused on that,” jess answered while clearly wanting the conversation to be done. y/n only smiled at the sight of the baby, gently rubbing his back. jess’s eyes locked onto her once more. watching her look at bowie with all the love made his eyes gleam. the way her smile spread with love, only made his heart beat faster happily. “thanks.”

y/n glanced over to him at his word, furrowing her eyebrows gently while she looked into his eyes. “for what?”

“for being here, i guess.” he mumbles while turning back to face bowie and bring him closer to him, the baby resting his head on jess’s chest. y/n smiled at the sight while leaning into the pillow, happily watching the two. “of course.”

so, the two laid back into the bed. smiling at the sight of their baby falling into a comforting sleep. followed by y/n minutes later, at a moment of peace. finally having someone she trusted with her baby so she could peacefully have a break. jess shut his eyes to the sound of the light breaths of both his favorite people. never having felt something so perfect once again in his life.
