Since John lost his wife, there wasn't much in life to make him happy; every day was a cycle of himself. Then one day, a month before Christmas, he walked past a building on one of his days off. It was spontaneous, but he knew his time was running out and that if he wanted to build anything in his life, he had to act now.

And that's how you came into his life, an orphan who had lost her parents far too soon. Anxious, your previous families hadn't been what you'd hoped for a lot of drama, loud noises, and memories you'd rather not keep.

When the door to your new home opens, you're surprised. The smell of fresh cookies fills the air, a Christmas tree shines brighter than the streetlights, and the scent of tobacco wafts through your nostrils. A hand gently rests on your back. "Come in kid, you don't have to be afraid, this is your home now, a place where you are allowed to be yourself."
