❝ hey, divina, divina. ❞ half-dressed, half-hungover, he hurries through the slumber of the still kitchen. there’s a tie loose around his neck, last night hanging dark under his eyes. he’s met the morning with a hangover and a strangled line of yawns, somewhere underneath the exhaustion dreading today’s line-up of meetings. ❝ if you were gonna buy a movie ticket to see one of these girls in the lead, which one would it be? ❞ on his phone he swipes from one headshot to another, identical blondes with identical american dreams at their fingertips. jack pities whichever one’ll get told yes. he barely remembers being young, barely remembers a life not spent in limbo, but he remembers being ambitious, and the gradual crush of realism that came after. he picks his head up for a proper look at divina. ❝ you look nice today, by the way. ❞

#bundledmisery #man said hey do my job for me? 🥺

what traits does jack find most admirable in others?

ruthlessness and decisiveness are big ones. jack is good at lingering and bad at making tough choices when it comes down to it - he learned from his first divorce. he did the whole “i’m a cutthroat executive, i’m the boss in charge, i’m the hotshot that my dad never was” deal and it didn’t work out for him. it’s why he keeps his contract with mara even when she’s not holding her deal of it, it’s why he stays in a pitiful, entry-level position in his 30s when he could shoot for a better job elsewhere. jack’s ambitious but he’s afraid and, tbh, sentimental. he can’t imagine moving on from mara or his current job. it’s what he knows, and he’s not too eager to actually find out what’s on the other side of that - he’ll stick to daydreaming at his desk about it!

more personally, jack thinks you’re cool if you can make a nice drink and tell a good story. he has simple wants and needs <3

#what are tags. thank you kim for this from last year

NOBODY WEARS BAD LUCK LIKE JACK DOES. there’s awful dark bags under his eyes, the stains of adulthood desperately clutching at his skin. he had to be up at four this morning, bless his sorry heart. mara woke him an hour before his alarm was meant to, then kept him distracted in a whirlwind of whine until he stumbled out the door fifteen minutes late. if he’d had a moment’s rest today, he would’ve fallen asleep at his desk, somewhere between the meetings and calls and emails and clock-watching ( nobody ever bothered to tell him that the city of angels is just another city, overrun with everyday cowboys taking the same pills he took at home. tough competition for the stale-hearted. ). bad fucking luck : that’s all he’ll blame it on. WHAT ELSE IS THERE? he should be slipping his business card to an executive in a hotel lobby right now and instead he’s falling onto his couch with a groan. too close to colton, too tipsy for half-past five, too pitiful for this life. ❝ you gamble much, colton? ❞

““Whatever happens in the end,” she said, “I don’t want to lose you as my friend.”

He looked into her eyes. “I promise I will never be your friend. No matter what, ever.”

Her voice cracked. “If we fuck I’m going to feel like shit tomorrow.”

“That’s okay with me,” he said.”

#i’ll actually do em #multis specify singles kiss me on the lips

Every week Jack wakes up and says he’s gonna quit. Okay baby girl go back to your bitch boy desk job and then pick up Mara her starbucks on the way home ❤️

#''i’m gonna move on and do what i need to do'' before or after you're done running errands for ppl who don’t know your name for a living?

if you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.
