Dad's friend trope: okay I lowkey wrote this JUST so that I could read it lol Sorry if it doesn't make 100% sense, I was just bored and craving more Jon fanfics

Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.

Was he always this undeniable ?, maybe he should have been considering he's your dads best friend yet something about him brings you to him every time .
