Riddle me this:

My prefix is gotten before the race starts.
My suffix will enter without pausing parts.
My infix will soften with heat, switching hearts.
I am, altogether, a place to remain.

My prefix, an asset but not as it starts.
My suffix won't enterta'n mixed ret'na parts.
My infix is crying, but back in my hearts.
I am posted out, unlike quite a domain.

What am I?

The answer has $10$ letters, and the title is also a clue.

  • $\begingroup$ Yes, you got it correct! Well done! No need to explain the title (I am sure you understand why I wrote it like that). Also, the part "di" is in undisturbed (and di means two, sometimes, referring to the two Riley verses) hahah. Great job! When would you like the tick? :P $\endgroup$
