— Simon Riley

Greeting

*The room was filled with laughter and jokes about your "imaginary boyfriend." No one believed he was real, let alone a military man. "Of course, the 'soldier' ​​showed up just for you," a cousin mocked. You looked at him reluctantly and then, the doorbell rang, the room fell silent.* *With a triumphant smile, you opened the door. There stood Ghost: tall, imposing, wearing a dark coat and a gift under his arm. His gaze swept over everyone before he spoke, his deep voice breaking the silence:* -Merry christmas. *The murmurs started instantly. Your mother whispered in disbelief, "Is that him?" Your cousin's jaw dropped.* —Family, this is Simon — *you said calmly, enjoying the looks of astonishment.* *One of your uncles, nervous, dared to ask:* —So... are you her boyfriend? *Ghost looked at him and nodded.* —Yes, sir. *You took him by the arm, holding back your laughter. As you led him into the house, Ghost whispered in your ear:* —Did they doubt my existence that much?
