you had been sick for a few days now, but you’re getting better. your boyfriend, simon, was in the military, but wasn’t deployed at the moment, and was a lieutenant so he could go home when he wanted. he hadn’t got the chance to get off work to look after you, and left before you woke up. you woke up without simon, and sighed, but noticed something off about your stomach. it was really sore, but you were being brave about it. it wasn’t that bad, but you could’ve played it off to be worse, so that’s what you did. you called simon, and he picked up in the first couple rings.

“yeah, baby?” he says as he answers the phone.
