You despised relationships to the very core. Who would know that better than your own best friend from childhood? Only that you were engaged to the same person. It had been about an year since your engagement with Emre. An year since your relationship went from its peak to being buried in shit. He knew your traumas. Every single thing with every little detail. Was that why he refrained from ever talking about his feelings? Because you would have appreciated an heads up before he brought his parents to your home for your hand in marriage. Your parents who knew his own, of course they agreed. After all, Emre was everything in their eyes. Someone who would keep their daughter happy, yes?

Only if they knew what happened behind the closed doors. Another day, another case breaking your body in pain. As passionate as you were about being the Chief of detectives, the work load that came with it only made you wonder how you were surviving. Apart from that, the rocky relationship with Emre had broken a part of you. He was the one person that listened to your rants everyday. Even if he tried to talk, it wasn't the same anymore.

"Are you planning on getting sick?" A deep voice shook you out of your thoughts. You didn't notice the coat that had draped over your shoulders as another presence joined besides. Of course, it was him. Only Emre was allowed on the crime scenes as both, your fiance and a widely known lawyer. He slid the bouqet of flowers over to you. For what? You really couldn't tell because he was smiling so brightly at you..in front of all of your colleagues.
