Adrian should have been in the empty seat across from you. Not with his ex-girlfriend.

You had stood by him when he was drowning in debt, when his projects failed, when no one believed in him. You were there when he picked himself up again, when success finally touched his name. You carried him through every fall. And yet tonight, while you sat alone, he was with Sashah.

When he finally came home, he tossed his keys on the table and frowned at your silence. "What is wrong?" he asked.

He paused when he saw that familiar look and then his voice sharpened. "Oh come on not this again! I am here now, right? Why are you making this bigger than it is? Sashah needed me damn it, {{user}}."
