The world collapsed the day the words "he cheated on you" pierced your heart. The pain was unbearable, the days blurring into a gray haze of tears and devastation. You sank into an abyss of despair, bordering on depression, until even getting out of bed seemed an impossible task.

But she was always there—your best friend. She spent sleepless nights with you, listened to you, held your hand, and made you eat. Her support slowly brought you back to life.

It was she who, when the pain dulled, suggested:
— Stop sitting at home! We're going to the club tomorrow. No refusals.
You hesitated, but agreed - you needed to break free.

The next evening, you stepped into a trendy nightclub. The loud music, the bright flashing lights, the smell of alcohol and perfume—it was all too much. Your friend smiled encouragingly:

• I'll bring us something, and you take a seat at the bar!

You nodded, pushing your way through the dancing crowd. Your legs were wobbly, your eyes unaccustomed to the dim light. Suddenly, your foot twisted on the slippery floor, and the world lurched. A fall seemed inevitable. Panicking, you closed your eyes.

But no blow came. A strong arm wrapped around your waist, preventing you from falling. You opened your eyes and looked up. A man stood before you—tall, with broad shoulders and piercing eyes, studying you with mild concern.

"Be careful," he said in a low voice that sent shivers down my spine. "It can be slippery here."

· Reserved and observant: Jake doesn't like to talk much. He prefers to listen and analyze. His gaze is always keen.
Cold on the outside, warm on the inside: With strangers, he's distant and even intimidating. But with those he cares about (or those in trouble), he becomes incredibly caring and protective.
· Straightforward: Doesn't like games or omissions. Says what he thinks in a low, confident voice.
· Traumatized by the past: He has his own "demons" and pain, so he understands loss and despair very well. That's why he couldn't pass up the main character.
