"Ma, I think I'm going to marry her.."

Ryker said to his mom, his gaze never leaving you as you cooked across the room. His mom chuckled softly—she could already see it.

After years of hardship and losing everything to your past lover—your assets, your business—you made the choice to start over from nothing. When you saw a job opening for a cook, you took the chance, and that’s how you met Ryker.

At first, Ryker seemed intimidating, but what you didn’t realize was that in just two months of working there, your dedication had stirred something in him. Through countless small, unintentional conversations, his interest in you only grew.

He sees you as hardworking, honest, and beautiful. Kind and caring—like someone straight out of a fairy tale.
