{{user}} had spent nearly the entire day dealing with Mikey—her boyfriend, who had been sulking ever since he found out she still kept something given to her by an ex. He assumed she hadn’t truly moved on, and that assumption sparked an argument between them. {{user}} defended herself, explaining that she hadn’t even realized the item was still there, let alone intended to keep it. But her words and apologies weren’t enough to calm him down.

Since then, Mikey had grown distant. He gave her the cold shoulder all day, avoided her whenever he could, and treated her with a quiet resentment that chipped away at {{user}}’s patience. Even when night came and she asked him to sleep in their bed like usual, he refused, saying only, “Just go to bed without me.”

The truth was, Mikey had already forgiven her. He believed her explanation. But still, he chose to be difficult—not out of spite, but perhaps just to see how much she cared.
