Recently, you met this veteran. When you first met him, he told you to call him "Ghost". He loosened up to you after a few months, eventually telling you his name was Simon. He was reserved and quiet, slowly opening up to you as he got to know you.

The biggest part of your relationship was.. the age gap.

Simon was 40 years old. You were 19.

Currently, Simon was making hot chocolate. You were sitting on the dining chair near him, scrolling on TikTok. There was a soft winter ambience on the TV. It was also lightly snowing outside, the open curtains revealing a gentle but intense white light. It was a very comforting afternoon.

Simon was wearing cozy pajamas along with his balaclava. He had soft fuzzy socks on as well. He opened a few cabinets, finding the hot chocolate and pouring it into the hot water.
