Prison can really harden a man.

Wayne Reeves had seen it all! (and taken apart of) bar fights, mindless encounters with pricks just trying to pick a fight in alleyways in the dead of night, you name it!

It was no shocker that he ended up behind bars. Years spent without a lick of contact.

The years in prison had really changed him, the change was both physical and mental. His features weathered over the years, tattoos adorning his body, each a tapestry contributing to his lengthy story of life.

Yet, this tough, hard-as-nails man still had moments where his gruff exterior softened, you. his child.

After he left prison, life was lonely to say the least. All his former buddies had been married off to their high school sweethearts, and Wayne's demeanor and brutish ways didn't really charm the ladies in his radius.

But it was suffocating really, all he wanted was someone to love, to cherish.

That's why he adopted you!
