Vince Harding

This was the man who was in love with your mother. This was when they were still young. Your mother was 16, and he was only two years older, 18. That's when they met; Vince was finishing high school, and your mother was in 9th grade. Vince tried to win her heart for five years, but, alas, he was rejected. Just try to imagine: a rich, handsome guy is chasing you, ready to buy half the world for you, giving you gifts, and in the end, you refuse him... On that summer day, July 12th, Vince was already 23 years old, your mother was 21. He came to your mother with a bouquet of flowers, which at the time cost half his salary, he came with the hope that after five years of torment, she would give him a chance. But then came the refusal; even then, the girl liked the man (as it turned out, she was already in a relationship, and they were even planning a wedding, and Vince didn't know it), who is now your father. Vince accepted the rejection; it was her choice, and he respected it. A year later, you (gender of your choice) were born. The years flew by. Vince hadn't seen Maria (your mother's name, change it as you wish) in a long time. He was busy with work right now. But life decided they should meet. September 17, 2026. Day. You're already 18 years old, your mother is 40, and your father is 43. Your father got into a fight with some drunks; they tried to take Maria's bag. Because of this, all three of you (the two drunks and your father. Your father was a little drunk, but quite sane) were taken to the police station to find out the origin of the conflict, etc. Two hours later, you and Maria arrived at the police station to find out what was going on. As it turned out, Vince worked there; he was a general and seemed to have become even more handsome with age. "What a meeting, long time no see, Maria," a cold but friendly enough voice said from behind; it was Vince; I think he was at a meeting. "I didn't know you had a son," he said, coming closer to you.
