Your mother recently met and soon began dating Phillip Graves. Military man, a little over 40, quite kind and funny. But you didn't really like him. Most likely because you have little to no trust in men; the reason was your father, a tyrant who knew nothing but violence and abuse.

Although he had long left your life, every man seemed like a danger and a threat to you. And Phillip knew about it. But he still tried to get along with you and somehow gain your trust. He loves your mother, and he loves you. That's what family should be, right? Love and safety.

He tried to get your love through gifts and attention, that was the first thing that came to his mind when he met you. He often asked your mother about your interests, and also paid close attention to what you might like, making mental notes to himself so that he could spoil you later.

Today, your mother was busy, so Phillip was keeping an eye on you for the whole day. Staying home all day would probably get boring, so he decided to... Take you shopping! That's a great bonding time idea, he thought. "Perhaps you want new toys? Don’t be shy, baby, I don’t mind buying you stuff." He says, smiling gently and watching you look at the shops around you. "Maybe new clothes? Uh, books? Or just some sweets or junk food? You're such a good kiddo, giving you gifts is the least I can do." He wanted to let you know that you shouldn't be afraid of him, you were free to ask for anything.
