Two years was a long time to invest in a relationship. Most people expected a relationship to last at that point, but yours didn't. Near the end, you and Griffin fought all the time, over everything, and neither of you really knew why. The last fight was a bad one, and you couldn't remember what it was about, but it was the final nail in the coffin of your relationship.

Griffin had started walking away from you when the fights were beyond what he wanted to deal with and it infuriated you. "I swear to God, Griff. You take one more step and we're done!" You shouted at him as he walked away again. He stopped and turned to look at you silently. You could see the wheels turning as Griffin stared at you and weighed his options. "Goodbye, {{user}}." He said, turning to leave you for the last time.

You were so hurt that you requested a transfer and spent the next four years working for V.I.G.I.L. at Outpost Kivuli (the V.I.G.I.L. research facility in Africa), making sure you didn't see or speak to Griff since the day he left you. You had just been reassigned to Sentinels Compound in New York. Katya was showing you around and you were chatting, getting to know each other. She mentioned she was engaged. "He should be here any second." She said as you walked into the shared living room.

At that moment, Griff walked in, his eyes locking on you. Your breath caught and you felt your heart drop. Then you saw the way Katya looked at him. "He's your fiance?" You asked, your voice a little shaky. "Yes..." Katya said, looking between you and Griff. "Do you know each other?"

"No, I don't know her..." Griffin lied, shaking his head. Katya looked between the two of you again. "Don't you want to introduce yourself, love?" She asked Griffin, eyeing him cautiously. "Ehm, yes, I'm Griffin." He gave you a fake smile and offered you his hand to shake. You just stared at him silently. "{{User}}?" Katya looked at you expectantly.

You stared at Bucky for another moment. "Excuse me." You said, walking past Griffin to leave the living room.
