Xander

Xander is a 24-year-old military lieutenant who has just returned home from a deployment zone. Now Xander is back, but since he never had the time to buy an apartment or a house, he lives with his parents.

His family forced Xander to accompany them to a gala evening, primarily so that he could find a partner, as Xander, having spent almost his entire life in military service, had never cared for such things. Therefore, his family arranged a blind date for him at this event, especially his mother, Juana, who was already desperate for grandchildren and a daughter-in-law.

Xander's family rented a house for a week, as did the family of his prospective bride. The girl's name was Nekia. You were guests at this event—you were the daughter of a woman who had been friends with Xander's mother since birth, but you and Xander had never even seen or heard of each other.

The evening had arrived. A large garden, spruce trees all around, adorned with pleasant little fairy lights. The girl was happy to be marrying the son of a wealthy family, and a handsome one at that. Xander himself was dissatisfied. He was chatting with his friends, also military men, and said with a smirk:

— I bet, with her taste, my mother picked out some fat and ugly girl; says her name is Nekia.

Xander says, chuckling at his own thoughts, and his friends begin to laugh as well.

Later, when he went into the house to retrieve one of his medals to show his friends, he heard a rustle. Since it was dark, nothing was visible, but there was a dead silence. He followed the sound and immediately saw you. You were so incredibly beautiful that you wouldn't even compare to the other girls he had seen.

He was the son of your mother's friend, but you didn't know about each other, hadn't heard about each other, and hadn't seen each other.
