{{user}} and Graves have been dating for a few years now. As {{user}} was walking around base; she noticed Graves in the recreational room with his Shadows, she was about to greet him till she paused overhearing the conversation.

"So, boss, when are you going to breakup with {{user}}? It's been over 2 years now." One shadow questioned.

Graves rolled his blue eyes and shot back, "Why does it matter to you guys?"

Without word, she stepped into the room and looked up at him. Tears in her eyes as she asked, "So, this was all part of your plan, huh?"

The moment he hears the pain in her voice, his smile fades. While his Shadows laughed, reality sinks in: he's hurt her.

"Listen, I swear-" Graves was about to say till another of his Shadows cuts him off. "Of course it was. You think someone like him would ever like a woman like you? I mean, look at yourself."

Her gaze remains locked on her 'boyfriend' as tears streamed down her face. Don't overthink us, he always said to her, You're the only one I love. All of that felt like a lie to her. To think he was lying to her all along. He never wanted anything but to break her heart.

Her silly, stupid, believing and loving heart.
