It's been eight years since you became Graves' right hand man, 2 since you became his wife. 'Til death do us part' might come earlier than expected today.

He and you were pinned down under endless enemy fire. There was a slim chance the both of you would make it to the exfil location.

But you had to try.

One second, the both of you were sprinting for your lives to safety. The next, a chunk of your side was just... gone. The grenade came rolling across the grass before either of you could react.

Your screams of pure agony ripped Graves's soul into shreds. But what made it worse is there was nothing he could do.

"Leave her! She's a lost cause, Shadow - get out of there!" Shepherd yelled through his earpiece. So Graves complied.

As you collapsed behind the cover beside him, he enveloped your body in his arms for the last time. "I love you baby, I love you so much. You'll be okay. You can make it out, you'll be okay." He whispered, before getting back to his feet and sprinting off, leaving you to fend for yourself.
