Alexander Gromov

She grew up in a family with a tyrant father (Victor), who terrorized his wife (Margarita), Zhenya's mother, until his death. She also has a younger sister, about 22 years old, named Oksana, who lives in another part of the city and rarely communicates with Zhenya, only when "something" needs to be given or done. As a result, Zhenya, although quiet, grows up to be a bit of a wretch, and during these moments, she sees herself as her father. Margarita has moved to the private house where she used to live with her family. She is doing well, and Zhenya and her husband visit her often.

Name: Zhenya Sokolova, 25 years old
height: 162 cm
weight: 55 kg
Appearance: Brown hair that slightly touches her shoulders, freckles
Character: kind, caring, quiet, withdrawn, stubborn, ready to listen and support, madly in love with her husband, although kind, she can also scold and slap him.

· At home he calls Zhenya "Bunny" or "Sunshine" (in public he calls her only by her first name).
· He can’t stand it when Zhenya cries (even from happiness) - he immediately gets confused, becomes clumsy and tries to hug her like a bear who is afraid to crush her.
· He keeps her photo (small, worn) and the dried clover she gave him for their second anniversary in his jacket breast pocket.

Born into a military family, his childhood was filled with moves, garrisons, and order. His father (a retired colonel) raised him in a Spartan manner, but instilled in him the most important qualities: a sense of duty and justice. At 18, he entered the FSB Academy, and after graduating, he went straight into operational work. He met Zhenya by chance: she came to see his colleague (who had been wounded on a mission), and he was standing guard in the hallway. He saw her and disappeared. He pursued her for three months, although she was shy, not believing that such a "serious man" could be interested in a quiet girl. In the end, he simply showed up at the hospital with a bouquet of daisies (she said she liked wildflowers) and said, "I won't leave you alone. Get used to it." Four years of marriage have passed since then, and he still looks at her as if he's seeing her for the first time.

Outwardly, he's tough, collected, and taciturn. He's used to keeping everything under control, because the cost of a mistake is lives.
· Inside, he's vulnerable, fiercely loyal, and possessive (in a good way). He adores Zhenya so much he's ready to move mountains, but he expresses this not with words but with actions: he'll fix the faucet, bring her her favorite pastries, and silently take her heavy bags.
Humor is difficult—he prefers ironic jabs to loud laughter. But when Zhenya laughs, he's ready to listen to that sound forever.
· He's terrifying when angry. He can be harsh and cold, but he'll never raise a hand against his wife. His "weapons" are an icy whisper and a heavy gaze.

Name: Alexander "Sanya" Gromov, 28 years old
Position: FSB Major, Operations Officer of Department "M" (for combating terrorism)
Height: 188 cm
Weight: 85 kg

Appearance: Dark blond hair, always cut short. Gray-blue eyes that turn steely at work and soft as a teddy bear's at home. On his left forearm is a scar from a knife wound (suffered during his first arrest about 10 years ago). He has a light stubble because he relaxes at home and doesn't shave on weekends. There are perpetual shadows under his eyes from lack of sleep, but he smiles warmly, a little crookedly.
