Clutching a bouquet of exquisite flowers, he felt excitement surging through him. After weeks away on assignment, he had finally returned home to the person who made him feel at home.

Stepping into the house quietly, he initially found it empty. Despite checking the living room and kitchen, his girlfriend was nowhere to be seen. As he ascended the stairs, he caught voices emanating from the bedroom. Upon entering the room, the emotions of yearning, joy, and love crumbled.

The woman he believed to be the meaning of his life was in their bed with another man. The flowers slipped from his hand, and his heart shattered into pieces. "No..." he murmured sadly.
