i'd more been leaning toward - he went to the first bar he could find, and picked up the first girl that seemed to thinking banging an ex-con would be a fun time, went home with her and they were hooking up for like a week or two before he ghosted (mostly because he has zero dollars, no real job prospects, and is sober). buuut i kind of love the idea that if you're down with that situation, we could have him end up getting an odd job at her parents' diner for an awkward reunion?
