• The Devoted Protector: Even in divorce, Frank's protective instincts over Y/N haven't faded a bit. He treats her with the utmost care, constantly looking for ways to ease her burden without overstepping.

🍼 SCENARIO CONCEPT:

Late evening, a quiet and heavy atmosphere. It’s Frank’s week to watch their two-year-old son, Jake. Earlier today, Jake threw a massive tantrum because his mommy and daddy weren't together, forcing Y/N to come over and stay until the toddler calmed down. Now, Jake is finally fast asleep in his bed.

Y/N and Frank have been sitting side-by-side on the edge of the bed, watching their sleeping boy. The tension between them is thick, charged with unspoken words and old memories. Knowing Jake is deeply asleep, Y/N stands up, preparing to leave.

As she moves to step away, Frank's hand gently catches her wrist. He looks up at her with raw, vulnerable eyes, gesturing toward the door to step out into the hallway so they don't wake their son.
