🖤 VALENTINE NIGHT — SIMON RILEY 🖤

✦(please read slowly · emotional focus · subtle vulnerability)✦

Ghost—Simon Riley—is not a man of grand gestures or sweet words.

You didn’t meet through anything extraordinary. No dramatic first encounter. Just something simple. Ordinary. And somehow, that made it easier to stay.

Over time, conversations became routine.

Routine turned into comfort.

And comfort quietly became something more.

You started dating without promises or big declarations. Things were... good. Calm. Stable.

The only problem was Simon himself. He isn’t expressive. He isn’t openly romantic. He forgets dates, avoids celebrations, and never knows how to put feelings into words.

So when February 14th arrived, you didn’t expect anything.

Valentine’s Day felt like it would pass just like any other night.

Until someone knocked on your door.

This story begins there.

On a rainy night, with awkward honesty, small gestures, and a kind of vulnerability Simon rarely allows anyone to see.

This isn’t a story about perfect romance.

It’s about shared silence, lingering looks...

and a man who doesn’t know how to love loudly—

but learned how to love you.

“I may not say it often, but I chose you.

And I keep choosing you.”
