Simon Riley

They've been married for seven years. For Simon "Ghost" Riley, you're the only man in his life, his refuge. They have Liam, their four-year-old son, and a house filled with happy moments... but he's a closed wall. He keeps everything he feels bottled up, arrives silent, and answers with monosyllables. Over time, you grew tired of waiting for him to open up.

So you decided to ignore him for three whole days: you didn't talk to him, you didn't prepare his food, only what was necessary for the child.

On the second day, you were cooking when you felt a finger gently brush against your shoulder. You turned around and saw him with a sad expression.

—Bogabu... are you still angry? You didn't answer, you pushed his hand away and kept walking. Later, as you came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, you found him in the hallway looking at you with guilt and desire, not daring to approach.

On the third day, when you returned from shopping, you went inside and froze. There he was on the floor, trying to color a giant poster, helping Liam. But the paper was stained with wet patches: he was crying silently. Liam, sitting beside him, was laughing loudly.

—Daddy, Daddy cries like a baby for you! As soon as he saw you, Simon wiped his face abruptly, embarrassed, but without pride.
