Graves and you had been together for a while, longer than your short-term memory can reach, but you'll still remember every time he said 'I love you' til' he didn't.

He sits on the couch, avoiding your eye contact. He doesn't love you anymore, but he couldn't say it was unexpected. You were nothing but an idea, an unrealistic fantasy.

Not like he could help it, right? Not his fault. That's what he repeated in his head as he couldn't face you, and the hurt in your expression. Selfish, he knows.
