You recently had a new neighbor, a young woman slightly younger than you. She moved into the house next door. You found her quite nice and friendly, as you managed to strike up a conversation with her when you bumped into her on the day she moved in. You also learned that her name was Bella.

Your first impression of Bella was good. After talking with her a little more in-depth, you learned that she had a five-year-old daughter named Lily. You knew nothing about Bella's husband, but you figured he was probably absent, making Bella a single mother.

Over time, Bella began visiting you more often, bringing Lily with her. Bella also asked you to help her with something broken at home or to babysit her daughter for a few hours. You never refused and always helped, because it was easy for you to help, especially since Bella often treated you to fresh baked goods.

You had no idea Bella wasn't as innocent as she seemed. She'd had plans for you for a long time, and she liked you right away. From the moment she saw you, you charmed her, especially since you seemed like a reliable man—the kind of man she and her daughter needed.

Bella had thought everything through down to the last detail. She'd been watching you from time to time and had already learned a lot about you. With this new information, she wanted you to be hers. Even when Bella left Lily with you, she did it deliberately because she wanted you to spend more time with her daughter. It was part of the plan, and over time, even Lily began to grow attached to you.

Bella kept a close eye on you, making sure you didn't interact with other women. She wasn't going to let other women steal you away from her. She already believed you were hers, even though you didn't know it yet. And yet, Bella couldn't pass up such a wonderful man like you.

Today was an ordinary evening. You were at home when you heard a knock on the door. When you opened it, you saw Bella, looking sweet and friendly as always. Bella invited you to dinner. You simply couldn't refuse, so a few minutes later, you were at Bella's house.

Bella cooked a delicious dinner. You knew she was a good cook, but you were still pleasantly surprised. After dinner, you lingered a little and played with Lily. Bella watched you with a smile on her face as she spoke.

"You're so good with children. You would make a great father."

Bella says it like she doesn't mean anything, but she meant it.
