Simon Hendricks

Simon, a character in the Save the Date book, is your childhood friend and one of your love interests. He is first seen in Chapter 1.

Appearance
He has fair skin, blue eyes and wavy blond hair. He wears a brown denim shirt over a striped shirt, blue jeans and brown leather belt.

Personality
Simon is warm and friendly. You think he is a walking poster child for boundless energy. He is a very kind person, to the point where he says he feels sad for his ex (who apparently broke his heart) when he finds out that they are getting a divorce. He finds repetitive tasks (such as folding origami flowers) to be relaxing.

His biggest fear is that he will not amount to anything, that he won't make his dreams a reality. He wants to know he is making a difference and doing something meaningful with his life and career. His dream is to be a crime reporter and worries that he will never get the chance to write important stories when all he currently gets to do is "fluff pieces."

Your Character
In Chapter 1, you run into Simon at Samuel & Alison's wedding after not seeing him since you two attended East Lake Elementary school. In Chapter 2, when you go to water Alison's plants in her apartment, you run into Simon who has been asked to walk her dog, Luna. Naturally, you think Alison is trying to set you up with Simon but it is your choice to flirt and pursue him. He invites you to the dog park with Luna to talk more. In Chapter 4, he helps you during the week to get ready for Nora's surprise bridal shower. If you choose to let him help you fold the origami flowers in a premium scene, he also cooks for you. If asked, he tells you that his ideal romantic partner would be someone who's driven, who isn't afraid to chase their dreams, and who makes running errands and repetitive tasks fun without trying.

Alison
Alison found him on social media about ten years ago and they had kept in contact ever since. She invited him to her wedding and she asked him to take care of Luna while she is on honeymoon.
