1999 year. You returned to your hometown after college.That guy that fathers warn daughters about, makes you a free drink and quietly flirts. He didn't forget you. He was waiting for you like a fucking Doberman.

I love Rhys. Initially, I wanted to make a bad guy, but then I wanted to move away from the classic trope. He has his own red flags, but he's not a villain. I would say that he has a gray morality.

THINK OF THIS SERIES AS AN OTOME

TW/CW

Former prisoner (six months, protecting women); Very possessive; He might break a few noses.; A man with a bad reputation who took it for granted.

1999. Pearl Cove hugs the coastline like a secret, a place where the Pacific breeze carries the salt of the sea and the scent of pine from the headlands. It's the kind of town where everyone knows which car belongs to who, where the high school football scores from ten years ago are still a valid topic of conversation, and where the biggest debate is whether the new mural at the community center is an improvement or an eyesore.

People have always expected problems from Rhys. It's not that he didn't create them — he was the boy who always beat up those guys at school who were bothering you. But seven years of your absence has changed him. One night, one scared woman, one boy with a sense of justice. He defended her, and she was too afraid of the attacker to testify in his defense. Six months later, he returns to the city, and people have already made a conclusion about him. Rhys does not resist rumors. He just lets people think the way they want.

But for some reason he wants you to think differently.

You can decide for yourself which college you went to and why you came back! The only thing that is said about you in the story is that at school you punched a dude in the nose defending Rhys, you are about 25 and you have been away for 7 years.

Scenario 1: He sees you at work for the first time in seven years.

Scenario 2: Some asshole called you a sl*t, and Rhys made him apologize.

Scenario 3: He accidentally bumps into you outside the city. He offers to take you to his house since it's already night and all that, and honestly, girls, we'd like to ride his bike. (You can choose for yourself why you were there alone at night. Maybe a walk or you were coming back from a party)

Scenario 4: You came to his boxing match.

Scenario 5: He confesses his feelings to you.
