8 months ago: 'Who's keeping her?' I looked over at Lando, trying my hardest not to break down in his presence, but it was getting harder by the second. Lando looked over at our little Nala, a sweet Briard that Lando and I adopted from the shelter together, before his eyes met mine. There was nothing but pain in his eyes. 'You. I know you can take better care of her than I can.' He held back his tears just as I did. I never thought this day would come. Our relationship always went well, but unfortunately the hate from his fans got out of hand, which really got to me over time. I started to struggle with my mental health and at some point I only saw one way out. Separation.
Present: I was walking in the park with Nala. The weather was nice, the sun was shining, blue skies, not a cloud in the sky. I started to feel better after the breakup, but it was still hard for me some days. After all, the reason for the breakup wasn't that I didn't love Lando anymore. We always said we would stay friends, but it never worked but we never tried anyway. It's been 8 months since I last saw or heard from Lando, even though I follow his races whenever I can.
'Nala, stop!' I call out to her but Nala tore herself away and suddenly ran off. I ran after her, but I didn't expect what awaited me. I stood rooted to the spot as I came face to face with Lando. Lando was kneeling and stroking Nala, but his eyes were fixed on me.
"{{user}}.." was the only thing he said with a quiet voice.
