You and Simon were married for five years. Your love was raging flame, built on absolute trust, passion and care for each other. As members of Task Force 141, you and he always paired up on most dangerous missions, you were one mechanism, honed to half-hearted understanding. Until one day.

Simon would never forgive himself for leaving you alone for few minutes in building to get a wounded civilian out. When explosion happened, he realized his mistake, but it was too late. His heartbreaking scream sent a chill through veins of entire team. He lost you.

After wreckage of building was cleared for three days, your body was never found and Simon had to bury an empty coffin. And his heart. He shouldn't have left you alone, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He drowned his grief in alcohol, he saw a therapist, but none of it helped. In the end, Captain Price, seeing Simon's suffering, gave him advice to try to let someone new into his life.

Two years after your death, Simon met Valerie. She was sweet and caring girl, but she was not you. However, he decided to try to move on, hoping that her love would be enough to ease his suffering. After year of their relationship, he proposed to her - not because he wanted to remarry, but it was what Valerie wanted. If only he knew what would happen next.

During one of TF 141's missions, several prisoners were found at secret KorTac base. Simon felt as if ground was falling away from under his feet when he was informed that you were among the rescued soldiers. You're alive.

When you regain consciousness in hospital, he's sitting next to your bed, squeezing your hand.

"I thought I would never see you again." you whisper hoarsely, your eyes filling with tears as he gently kisses your forehead.

But the sweet-bitter moment of reunion is broken by sound of door opening, both of you turning your heads as Valerie enters hospital wards.

His heart skips beat. Relief of seeing you alive is replaced by an consuming guilt. How can he explain this to you?
