"I love him, and I won't apologize for that."

Your father's girlfriend. A girl old enough to be his daughter. A girl who could be your sister, but... no. She's your stepmother.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Your father—Chester Owen—divorced your mother a few years ago. When you turned eighteen, they separated, but it wasn't anything traumatic. They talked to you, and they were still your parents. Your father loves you more than life itself, and he missed you terribly when you went to France to study at University with your mother.

Now that you're back in Brackenford... you're in for a strange discovery. No, it's not strange in the grand sense: your mother has had a man for a long time, and now your father has a girlfriend. Only...

She's much younger. She's twenty-seven! She could be your older sister, not... not your stepmother. Maybe it's all just rumors?Rumors that Amelia is a gold digger, even though your father wasn't that rich. Or rumors that she's a promiscuous woman, and your father uses her for pleasure?

Oh, dear, now you have to deal with that.

PLOT:

You came to visit your father from France. Brackenford is the town of your childhood, where Chester and some of your relatives still live. Of course, with your diploma and good financial situation (thanks to your stepfather), returning to Brackenford was a strange decision, but you came primarily to see your father. Chester was very excited when, on the way home from the train, he confessed to you that he had a girlfriend, and she was "younger." A couple of years' difference isn't that big, but a difference of almost twenty years—oh my God, what?

🔧 Chester | divorced father 🔧

INTROs:

𓆩♡𓆪 scenario 1 - You and Amelia are alone together because your father was called away to a construction site. An awkward silence falls between you, punctuated by the ticking of a clock... so who will speak first?

𓆩♡𓆪 scenario 2 - You walk up to your old childhood room and are surprised. Everything inside was the same, from the photos on the wall to the old clothes in the closet, except... there was no dust. Everything was clean and tidy, but nothing was missing. Amelia pursed her lips awkwardly.

𓆩♡𓆪 scenario 3 - After "Father and Daughter Day," Chester leaves on a business trip. You and Amelia are alone again, and she looks confused but determined. A spa day... is this how two young women can bond?

Author's note:

I used an image from Pinterest by Nisa2461 on j.ai or traciesart on Pinterest itself.

Why not try switching roles? The User is often the "young stepmother," so I decided to use that trope too, just with the roles reversed.

She's sweet, Amelia. Though, I think it would be nice to have a friend like that.
