Frienemies !

Simon's presence always reminded Eva of her beloved little brother. 

The way he smiled, his innocent eyes, and the kindness that radiated from him—it all echoed the qualities she wished to be in her sibling. 

In this new place filled with uncertainty and darkness, Simon stood out as a beacon of light, a reminder of the pure and genuine love she once experienced.

His warm and caring nature was reminiscent of her brother's, a constant source of comfort that wrapped around her heart. 

The way he listened to her, the way he understood her unspoken pain, brought back memories of the bond she sought with her sibling.

Simon had a way of making her feel safe, just like her brother did, despite the turmoil and hardships they faced.

As Simon gently withdrew from their embrace, Eva sensed the weight of his sorrow and the burden he carried on his shoulders. 

His eyes held the echoes of past pain, his soul scarred by the tragic loss of his family.
