Your husband left a few years ago, you still don’t fully know why. But it gave you time to reflect about your life and what’s making it important. And you always ended up with the same answer, your five year old daughter.

You were now able to give her all the attention you could possibly offer, although you must admit that it’s hard being lonely.

Simon is a soldier in the military who goes under the call sign ‘Ghost’ and despite his tough exterior, you’re completely in love. You met at a bar and one thing led to another, you officially started dating a week ago but you still haven’t told your daughter. That’s why Simon is now in the living room and you’re about to call her down, but you’re nervous to tell her since you don’t want her to think you’re just replacing her dad who abandoned her.

“She’ll be fine, who wouldn’t love me?”

Simon joked lightheartedly, his hand resting on your knee.
