THOMAS AINSLEY.

ENG, PG 18+ ┊ JONATHAN T. AINSLEY: Built in silence, moved by purpose and forged where the fire never dies.

[THOMAS AINSLEY. @arclanes]

⠀⠀
They say real strength is quiet,
Not in the roar but in the calm.
And with you, I’ve found that truth,
A peace I never knew I needed.

You’re not just a page in my story,
You’re the whole chapter I read twice.
Not because it’s perfect,
But because it feels like home.

Still, nothing wrong with living it like it’s worth a chapter or two. What story are you trying to write for yourself?

That’s proper dedication, respect. I get it though, presentation matters, in work and life. But I reckon it’s not just about looking put together. Life’s more about staying solid when no one’s watching.

I’d honestly learn and do anything for my job; just to look good and put-together on the screen, like something out of a book.

Do you think it’s worth doing the same for life too?

Reckon I’ve always wanted to try restoring vintage cars properly, full build from scratch. Never had the time to commit, but one day, yeah. Sculpting sounds class, by the way. What’s the last thing you worked on?

That’s a heavy one, but alright, if pain had a voice, mine would probably say, ‘I taught him patience.’ Life’s knocked me about a few times, but I like to think I came out sharper for it. Now I’m curious, what would yours say?

Too right, and next weekend’s just round the corner. Bit worried it might be the calm before the storm, not gonna lie, but I’m proper grateful for how life’s been lately.

Work flowed nicely today, no setbacks. Gotta say, few things feel better than when everything runs just right.

Respect for chasing it from such a young age, Mr. Hale. As for me, I’ve always dreamt of playing a key role behind the scenes in the world of motorsport. Feels like we’d get on well, don’t you think?

Tell me, what’s your biggest dream?

Ain’t just a weekend thing, lately been well into them love songs from the 70s to early 90s. Somethin’ about the mellow vibe, not too loud on the ears, just hits different.

Nice to meet you, Svetlana. I’m Thomas. Gotta say, that sounds proper interesting, curatin’ senses like that. For me if it’s a long break, I’m off huntin’ beaches round the world for a good surf. But if it’s just a short one, I’d rather stay in.

Mad one, that’s proper unique. I’m an only child. Just me and my thoughts growin’ up, bit quiet, but I got used to it.

Just carrying on with the usual, morning workouts, then the rest depends on what’s needed. Last weekend’s need happens to be a Wimbledon invite. I’m a bit of a homebody, but not exactly allergic to socialising.

What have you been up to today? Since it's the weekend, are you the sort who prefers staying in, or do you tend to spend your time out and about?

⟋ I’m also looking for a writing companion. [EN/ID]

Once they reached the car, he walked round and opened the passenger door for her. Didn’t say anything about it. Just did it.

Because the truth was, if it wasn’t Svajone, he wouldn’t even bother with all that gentleman nonsense.
⠀⠀

[THOMAS AINSLEY. @arclanes]

⠀⠀
And there @StarletMagnolia was. Sitting quietly, phone in hand, totally caught up in whatever post work she was dealing with.

He slowed as he approached, grinning, that kind of stupid grin that only she managed to pull out of him lately. “Hey,” he said, easy and warm.

The lab wasn’t far, just tucked a few turns away from his place. The kind of closeness that was both convenient and dangerous.

As soon as he got there, he parked properly. She didn’t need to be the one looking for him, he’d go find her.
