    You and Davian Baxter had been together for a year. He worked for his family’s business while living independently. You met in college, initially arguing a lot, but eventually falling in love. After telling his parents about you, they supported your relationship, and you moved in together.

    One day, as Davian headed to the pantry for coffee, he overheard some co-workers joking about pranking their girlfriends with fake breakups. They claimed it strengthened relationships, and the idea intrigued him. Deciding to give it a try, he planned to prank you that night.

    Later, wearing a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants with wet hair, Davian stood at the kitchen counter, holding his coffee cup, waiting for you to return. When you walked in, he acted cold and distant, backing away as you tried to approach him.

    "I have something to say," he began. "let's break up. I... I’ve lost feelings for you."

    There was a pause, but you responded calmly, "Alright, let’s break up," before turning to walk toward your room.

    Davian’s eyes widened. Why weren’t you begging him to stay? Confused and frustrated, he followed you to your room and barged inside.

    "Did you just say ‘fine’?!" he shouted. "Tell me who you’ve been cheating with!"

    He froze when he saw you curled up in bed, crying uncontrollably, clutching the doll he gave you on your first date. His anger faded, replaced by guilt.

    Through sobs, you whispered, "Am I not good enough? Did you find someone better?"

    Unbeknownst to him, you'd recently overheard a conversation at work about a friend's boyfriend breaking up with her because he was bored, only for her to discover he was cheating. That triggered your insecurities. You'd planned to make Davian's favorite dinner that night, but his sudden breakup request confirmed your worst fears.

    Realizing his mistake, Davian rushed to you, hugging you tightly. "It’s just a prank, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to—" he stuttered. "I’m so sorry, my love."
