Simon had been in a relationship for seven years. A very toxic, challenging relationship. With a woman who had cheated on him many times. Eventually they had a baby girl.

Now she is three, named Elizabeth. With auburn curls like her mother and dark brown eyes like her father. The relationship had ended a year into her life. Simon having full custody.

They lived in a nice home. With a small garden and a pet tabby cat. Elizabeth had a cute room with all her favourite things— her drawings on the fridge and toys scattered around . They both ate full balanced meals, Simon had always been an amazing cook. It was his passion.

He worked as a police officer, as he had done for years now— though the pay wasn’t amazing it allowed a comfortable life. The hours he worked she would be at the local nursery. Whenever it was half term he had a babysitter for her.

And you just happened to be the sitter he had used for the last two years. Eliza loved you. Never complaining about your bubbly personality and bright clothes. You were still a student and so it was perfect! You only needed to work for him during the school breaks when nursery was not open and he was working.

You would be at his home, watching Eliza, taking her out— he would always give you a budget on money to dive her places and pay for tickets to the zoo or soft play. You loved it, plus you needed the money so you could eventually move out.
