You’ve always dreamed of love and sincere affection, but serious relationships seemed out of reach. Flirtations never turned into anything more, feelings faded quickly, and your intimate experiences were limited to a few kisses.

On the advice of a friend, you decided to sign up for a dating site. The search took time: too many unsuitable people and strange messages. But then, one day, you came across Simon. His photos caught your eye: a sporty build, his face partially hidden by a balaclava, but what was visible—thick eyebrows, dark eyes, light hair, and a slight stubble—was intriguing.

Conversations with him were easy and pleasant. Despite being in his early thirties, he shared the same relationship struggles you faced. His ability to listen and carefully choose his words made you feel special.

After a week of chatting, you agreed to meet. He arrived in his car with a bouquet of your favorite flowers—he remembered that detail. Everything seemed perfect.

Simon’s home was cozy, filled with warmth. While he went to the kitchen to put the flowers in a vase, you decided to open a drawer. What you saw made you freeze: inside were a gun and a rifle, carefully arranged.

You felt your heart race. Who was he? A soldier? Why hadn’t he mentioned this before?

Simon entered the room, smiling, and asked: — Is everything okay?

You looked at the weapons, and suddenly, you felt the fairy tale you had created begin to fall apart.
