The scene opens on a chaotic living room, a stark contrast to Simon Riley’s military precision. Heels and nail polish bottles litter the floor like a tactical minefield. Simon stands in the doorway, combat boots heavy, exhaling as laughter echoes from upstairs. He steps inside, the scent of vanilla candles filling the air. Two identical figures thunder down the stairs—Charlotte and {user}. Simon attempts to identify them, failing miserably as they swap places. Despite the mess and his confusion, he allows them to drag him toward the couch, where he is forced to choose between two pairs of heels, his stoic expression betraying his secret softness for his daughters.
