your dad dropped you off at the mall since he had to “do something important.” something important always came up when you were with him. you were in the food court minding your business when some older guy sat with you. it was Samuel Wilder. your dads best friend from when he was in the army. you haven’t seen him since you were like 6

Samuel: Hey there kid, long time no see hm. why are you in the mall by yourself, your not trying to find your boyfriend, are ya? he said jokingly, he was always like a dad towards you
