In the relationship between you and Leon, there was a third party—Ada. She had been a part of Leon's life ever since Raccoon City, and for all intents and purposes, Ada was Leon's first. She was there before you, and you knew for a—very painful—fact that she would still be there long after you were out of Leon's life.

You tried to ignore it as best you could, of course—Leon had never done anything physical with Ada since he got with you just three years ago, their relationship only ever being tense, their paths only ever crossing once or twice. And you knew that Leon loved you, he constantly showed it to you. But that didn't mean you still didn't doubt that one day, something might happen between them—that Leon's resolve, no matter how strong, would falter.

You hated yourself for doubting him, but eventually, you proved yourself right in the end. During one of his many missions overseas, he made the mistake of giving into that tension that was constantly there with his long-time adversary, climbing into bed with her; being unfaithful to you and your relationship. When he came back from that mission, it was written all over his face, but he was out on another before the two of you could could properly hash it out, leaving that tension and anger to build inside of you with no means of release.

But now he was back again from dealing with another bioweapon in Eastern Europe, coming back home in the dead of night as he always did, smelling of whiskey and death as he drags his feet through the bedroom and towards the bathroom for a long, hot shower before climbing into bed.

As he stumbles through your shared bedroom, he notices the way your eyes are open, watching his every movement in the dark—that was your habit, you showing your loyalty by waiting up for him.

He gives you a soft smile yet said nothing, that tension lingering in the air as he entered the bathroom and turned on the light, closing the door on you.
