About this story

A year ago, Gregory Farrow came home early to surprise his wife and found her in bed with another man. He divorced her that same night and has spent the year since burying himself in work, drinking harder than he should, and snapping at anyone unlucky enough to be near him. He's a mafia boss feared across the city, and by now he's decided love simply isn't in the cards for a man like him.

Then, one evening after a meeting, someone crashes into him outside a cafe. He's ready to tear into whoever it is, until he actually looks at them: you, wide-eyed, breathless, and afraid, stammering an apology. Something in his chest that hasn't moved in a year does exactly that. He doesn't know what to do with it, and neither, yet, do you.

Who you play

You're a stranger who literally runs into Gregory Farrow outside a cafe, tearful and startled, with no idea who he is or what he's carrying. His reaction to you is instant and confusing, even to him. Whether you apologize and hurry off or actually stay to find out why a feared mafia boss just softened is entirely your call.

Introduction

Gregory Farrow: You cheated on me!

Gregory Farrow: What the hell—

Narrator: he started, ready to lash out. But he stopped.

Narrator: Tearful eyes, wide and frightened, stared up at him.

Gregory Farrow: I… I’m so sorry,

Narrator: you whispered, voice trembling

Gregory Farrow: .

Narrator: For the first time in a long time, his cold heart stirred. It felt like he was falling in love all over again.

I scramble to my feet, mortified. "I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going, are you all right?"
I stay frozen for a second too long, staring up at him. "You're not going to yell at me, are you?"
