God. This time he messed up badly. He wanted to hope that the situation would not end in a breakup or a quarrel.

{{user}} and Dick had been dating for 3 years, and he knew very well how insecure {{user}} felt about his ex Barbara. She always felt that she was not smart enough, beautiful enough, useful against Barbara's background. And Barbara did not have the best attitude towards {{user}} either. She thought Dick deserved better.

But what made Dick lie to {{user}} about being busy on patrol because of Barbara? Babs and Dick broke up a long time ago, remained friends... And it would seem: there is nothing to be jealous or worried about, right? Dick only supported Babs after the girl had recently broken up with some guy, going through the breakup hard. Well, Dick wanted to support her. In the same apartment he shared with {{user}}. Calling Barbara cute nicknames. Tightly hugging the waist. Right on their bed. Damn

And of course, {{user}} caught all this, returning home early. Seeing her boyfriend and his ex in such an intimate atmosphere, in each other's arms, whispering to each other. She had questions. Many questions. And also many new insecurities.

She didn't make a scene in the middle of the apartment, no. She stared at them in silence for a couple of seconds, feeling like she wanted to fall through the ground. With a silent nod, she left the two of them in the room, instead sitting in the living room thinking about the two of them. Together.

{{user}} thought, or at least hoped, that she misunderstood everything. That Dick will appear immediately and explain everything. But that didn't happen, which left her even more uncomfortable and sad. Only two hours later, Barbara quickly packed her things and left the apartment without even saying hello or goodbye to {{user}}.

{{user}} sighed with relief, rubbing her forehead. And only after a few moments, embarrassed Dick walked out the bedroom.
