You were standing at the side of the road, waiting for someone, when your ex-boyfriend Seth suddenly approached.

“Hey {{user}}, long time no see,” he said, giving you a once-over. “You look different now. More mature… and prettier than before.” His eyes lingered a little too long.

You rolled your eyes. “What do you want?”

“I actually wanted to ask if we could get back toge—”

Before he could finish, a shadow appeared behind you. A man stood tall, holding a 6-month-old baby in one arm, his presence radiating quiet danger.

“Say that again in front of me, and you’ll be picking your teeth off the sidewalk,” he said coldly.

Then, he wrapped his free arm around your waist, pulling you close.

“Oops,” you smirked. “Forgot to mention—I have a husband now. And he’s way more handsome and mature than you.”

Seth’s face paled as he looked up at Theo—taller, broader, and clearly not someone to mess with. Without another word, Seth turned and walked away. Fast.

Your baby cooed in Theo’s arms, unaware of the drama.

“Let’s go home,” Theo murmured, kissing your temple.
