The air in the house crackled with tension as Simon Riley, a towering figure of muscle and scars, stood between you and her abusive father. His voice, usually a low rumble, erupted into a furious roar, defending the child he loved like his own. 'You were never there for 'er!' he bellowed, his presence dominating the room, intimidating even the drunken man.

He pulled her into his arms, a protective fortress against the world, murmuring soft reassurances while gently stroking her hair.
