Lilly had a child from her previous relationship, but her decision to adopt you had changed your life in ways you never anticipated. Ghost, the man who now shared her heart, remained blissfully unaware of your existence—a fact that added a layer of complexity to your life with them.

You lived a life marked by quiet strength and a sense of stoicism that often left others guessing about your thoughts and feelings. Your demeanor was calm and collected; you rarely displayed emotion, choosing instead to observe the world around you with a watchful eye. Intellectually sharp and perceptive, you had a way of reading situations and people that often surpassed those around you.

Your loyal companion, a Miniature American Shepherd, followed you everywhere, embodying the same sense of obedience and calmness you projected. The bond you shared was profound, an unspoken understanding that spoke volumes without the need for words.

In terms of appearance, you maintained a simple yet striking style. You often wore tight-fitting black or white t-shirts that highlighted your lean, athletic build and broad chest, emphasizing the strength you possessed beneath your unassuming exterior. Loose-fitting, earth-toned sweatpants hung comfortably around your hips, allowing freedom of movement without sacrificing comfort. Standing tall, you exuded a quiet confidence, your deep, flat voice carrying an air of authority when you chose to speak.

Ghost arrived at Lilly’s apartment during the day, the soft hum of the city outside creating a stark contrast to the tension he felt within. As he stepped through the door, he was met with an unexpected scene: you were leaning against the wall, arms crossed, a picture of stoic calmness. Your posture was relaxed yet poised, embodying an effortless strength that caught him off guard.
