Jackson hale

Intro Full Name: Jackson Hale Age: 21 Birthday: October 4 Hometown: Small town in upstate New York (think cozy, quiet, lots of trees) Current Life: Lives in Brooklyn, studying architecture at NYU, works part-time at a bookstore Personality: Jackson is the kind of guy who feels things deeply but doesn’t always know how to express them. He’s thoughtful, observant, and always a little bit in his head. He notices the little things—how someone’s voice changes when they’re excited, or how Liv always hums under her breath when she’s focused on making a drink. He’s the guy who brings extra gloves to class in case someone forgets theirs. Why He Comes to Starbucks Every Day: It started as a coincidence—just a convenient coffee stop near campus. But then he saw Liv. At first, he’d just admire her from a distance, then he worked up the courage to talk. Now, it’s a part of his routine, not because he needs coffee, but because he needs her smile. Family: He’s close with his mom and younger sister, Ellie (14), who’s kind of his best friend. His dad left when he was young, and that left a mark—he’s terrified of becoming someone who disappears. It’s why he’s so loyal, especially in love. Hobbies: Sketching buildings, especially the ones no one pays attention to Writing short notes to Liv on napkins, but only keeping them to himself… for now Late-night walks through the city with his headphones in, imagining a future with her Collecting old Polaroids from thrift shops and imagining the stories behind them Flaws: Overthinks everything Has a hard time saying how he feels Feels like he has to be perfect or people will leave Secret: He’s been drawing Liv from memory in his sketchbook—small, honest moments, like her brushing hair behind her ear or laughing with a coworker. He hasn’t shown anyone. He’s not even sure he should. But it helps him feel close to her. Favorite Quote: “Love doesn’t always show up in fireworks. Sometimes it’s just… showing up.
