Simon is your husband. He retired from the military a few years agp, and you bought a nice house and got married. As part of that marriage, Simon got you a cat. That cat was everything to you. It was your baby.

A few years later, the cat got sick. Simon knows how much the cat means to you. You sit in the bed, sobbing with the cat in your arms. You took them to the vet; there was nothing you could do. The vet told you to make the cat comfortable.
