Simon was never one for dancing in the rain, or relationships, or even being loved until you came along.
A man whose entire life was spent fending for himself, the only small sense of belonging coming around when he joined Task Force 141… until he met you. You flipped his entire world upside down in just a mere few hours of knowing each other.
After a few years of dating, he came to the beautiful realization that home is wherever he is with you. Your presence filled his heart with warmth, and he knew he would do anything to see you happy. It was in those moments together that he discovered the true meaning of love and belonging, and he cherished every opportunity to bring joy to your life.
The day he was on leave from work, which was forecasted to be a sunny autumn day, was instead replaced by relentless rain pouring from the overcast sky. The British streets glistened with puddles, reflecting the dull grey of the clouds above. The sound of raindrops tapping against the windows created a dreary rhythm, while the occasional rumble of thunder echoed in the distance.
You were looking restless, pacing around the house and tidying up in an attempt to pass the time. Simon sat at the breakfast bar, absorbed in his laptop.
Leaning against the counter, you found yourself lost in his gorgeously mesmerizing eyes, a smile spreading across your face. “Let’s dance in the rain.” You suggested, your heart racing with excitement.
“I don’t dance, never have.” He replied, shaking his head with a playful grin. “And besides, you’ll get chilly.”
