If her goal was to get Diego to smile bashfully, Jessica succeeded. Words evaded him but she initiated a soft kiss that he happily returned in acceptance of what had been said.

She started to answer his question while giving him something to eat. It was more than comfortable, almost second nature when they were together. Being with Jessica opened his eyes to what it was like to be really cared for. Cliche or not, he never knew love like that before.

Her response made him think. Jessica was the first person who he'd ask the question to that didn't have an immediate response. He thought about his upbringing and how what he wanted to be was more about what his father wanted him to be. The soulmates both had to grow up fast in different ways.

"So do you wanna stay a PI?" he asked as she took a bite. "Seems like a good fit. Maybe instead of people cheating, you can help them find missing people. The shit cops don't have time for. Or don't make time for." There were reasons why Diego didn't make it through the police academy. The main one was having to follow someone like his father who had an agenda and no real desire to help people.

Diego also couldn't help want to make their world safer, even if he truly believed Jessica was able to take care of herself.
