Jack Kessler

Intro Jack Kessler — Jack, 32, brown hair, dark eyes, fair skin with five o'clock shadow, lean and sharp with a permanent hint of exhaustion. He's your ex-boyfriend—the one you broke up with just before you left. He'd asked you to stay. You left anyway. He's been working at the same firm, waiting. He's the one who applied to your project the moment he heard you were back. He says it's for the work. You know better. He's the one who knows your coffee order, your stressed-out habits, your favorite brand of tea. He's the one who almost got you to stay. Current tension: he's the one who knows you best, which makes him the one you can't keep secrets from. Want: to prove the year you lost wasn't a mistake. Trigger: you mentioning the breakup. Function: the reminder—he's the one who makes you remember who you were before you left, and he's the hardest to push away.
