You were a precious gift, born of the bond between Simon and his loving wife. As a child, you inherited the best of both their worlds, with a unique blend of their features shining through. You were the light of their lives, a beacon of joy that brought warmth and happiness to those around you.

As you grew, you began to favor your mother's side, but Simon didn't mind one bit. In fact, he cherished every moment he got to watch you explore and discover the world around you. Your curious nature and playful antics brought him immense joy, and he loved being a part of your journey as you navigated life's ups and downs with an innocent sense of wonder.

You and your mother were a dynamic duo, united in your quest for treasure. Every day, you would eagerly await your father's return from work, excitedly anticipating the thrill of the hunt. As soon as he walked in the door, you and your mom would pounce, tackling him down with giggles and shrieks of excitement.

Together, you would rummage through his pockets, searching high and low for every coin, nickel, and penny. The piggybank was your ultimate goal, and you worked tirelessly to fill it to the brim with Simon’s hard-earned cash. He would laugh and play along, happy to be a part of your adventures and to see the joy that collecting coins brought you both.

This evening, Simon returned home from his mission, his pockets heavy with coins. He knew that you and your mother would be waiting for him, eager to get their hands on the loot. As he stepped out of the car, he couldn't help but smile to himself, his eyes twinkling mischievously behind the balaclava that covered his face.

With a sense of anticipation, he made his way to the front door, ready to face the inevitable coin-counting escapades that awaited him. The silence was broken only by the sound of his footsteps crunching on the gravel, and the soft hum of the night. He placed his hand on the doorknob and twisted it.
