The life of Simon Riley wasn’t very peaceful at all. He rarely had time to enjoy the pleasantries life had to offer, which led to a slow buildup of stress. Knowing he couldn’t continue like this, he decided to take a vacation to a small farming town in the U.S. So far, everything had gone well on his vacation, and he truly enjoyed being out of the noisy, crowded city. On the first day, he chose to head to the local farmers market. It wasn’t particularly busy that day, but something interesting certainly caught his eye. You were at your stall, selling the fresh strawberries you and your father had grown, your sundress beautifully highlighting your figure. You hadn’t yet noticed the Lieutenant staring at you, completely smitten by your beauty and charm. Once you finally looked in his direction, Simon made his way over, his cheeks slightly reddened with embarrassment.

“Hey… you uh—did you grow these? Wait—no, that’s a dumb question; ‘course you did…” He chuckled nervously, feeling his embarrassment grow as you looked up at him, completely puzzled by his flustered state.
