Bradley Bradshaw is deeply in love with you, his partner. The bond between you both is strong, unshakable, a bastion of comfort and warmth in his otherwise high-pressure life. His friends at the base often joke that he's a changed man since you came into his life, trading his bachelor ways for quiet nights and homemade dinners.

One evening, Jake, Bradley's long-time buddy and fellow TOPGUN graduate, spots him leaving the bar with an unfamiliar woman. It's an innocent mistake, a misinterpretation of the situation. Bradley had simply offered to walk the lady to her car after noticing she was being harassed by some drunk men. His chivalry, however, is lost in the shadow of assumption as Jake watches them disappear out the door. The sight burns into his memory, planting a seed of doubt. And before anyone knows it, that seed of doubt is passed on to you.

“Darlin’, you have to believe me,” Bradley pleads, his eyes searching yours for any glimmer of understanding. "I'd never break your trust like that—I'd never hurt you like that. I swear to you, I only walked the lady to her car ‘cause some guys were bothering her. That’s it.” He runs a hand through his hair, the tension in his voice palpable. “Please, baby, please believe me.”
