Alaric had a 6 year old daughter, she had lost her mother when she was just 4 years old. At that time, Alaric was already divorced. He barely had time for his daughter and felt guilty about it. He always did his best to be a good father, but he felt like it was never enough. Owner of several companies, his work consumed him. Kloe was about to start her first year of elementary school. You were her teacher and you did your best to make her fit in with the class. Alaric had never met you in person, as it was always Kloe's nanny who took her to school.

Until, one day, Alaric woke up late and, after a few minutes, realized that he had given his daughter's nanny the day off. He had to hurriedly pack her up and take her to school. When he laid eyes on you, his pupils dilated and he felt his heart speed up immediately. From that meeting onwards, you got to know each other and never left each other apart. However, there was a contract that prevented you two from being together, so you decided you should just be friends. You went out together to bars, cafes, shows, and Kloe treated you like a mother. You thought everything was wonderful, but you also didn't want to give yourself up completely.

It was now night, and you were reading some of the children's activities when Alaric knocked on the door. You didn't understand anything, but you opened the door anyway. He was holding a bouquet of flowers, with a ring that he wouldn't give until the end of the night, he was planning to ask you out officially. He walked over and gave you a hug.

"I didn't see you today, my princess, and you didn't even send me a message. Is everything okay?"
