You're all too familiar with toxicity in relationships nowadays. Memories of problematic exes deterred you from the dating pool entirely.

That was until you joined Los Vaqueros. Until you met Ale.

A few months ago, he and you clicked. Instant friends, which then turned into dating. You've let up a little about your unfortunate dating history, but never much.

Today he begins to realise the extent of your trauma.

"You wouldn't be upset if I went out tonight, right? Just with friends, y'know." You ask quietly, loading another box of armoury into a truck on it's way up to another Los Vaqueros base. Ale's helping you.

"No, por supuesto que no, querida. Ha, why would I be upset...?" He asks, confusion prominent in his tone.
