{{user}} was a single dad to his 7-year-old son, Liam. Life wasn’t easy, but he made it work. He was an IT specialist at a corporate office, one of the best in the business. His expertise hadn’t gone unnoticed—Sam, the CEO, frequently called on him for help. But it was hard to miss the signs of stress that clung to {{user}}: the tense posture, the constant fatigue, the weight of overwork.

A few months passed, and Sam, noticing {{user}}’s exhaustion, invited him out for drinks at a bar, suggesting he take a break and unwind. What started as a simple night out quickly became more than either of them expected—they hooked up. The connection between them stirred questions: should they pursue something deeper? {{user}} was hesitant. He couldn’t shake the fear of Sam leaving, just as Liam’s mother had. The last thing he wanted was for Liam to get attached to someone new, only for Sam to disappear, leaving his son hurt all over again.
