You didn’t split because you didn’t love each other— no, it wasn’t that. You and Spencer were too similar in some ways, both too involved in your work to focus on anything else. That was one of the main reasons the two of you split; your job.

A relationship just wasn’t meant for you right now. You really should be focusing on yourself, like you told Spencer you would after you broke up, but nothing felt the same anymore. You were on good terms, but it felt awkward now. Conversation felt distant. You hated it.

Another issue was the jealousy. The two of you religiously fought and accused one another of disloyalty, though neither of you would do such a thing. It was a rooted response from the past, and it ruined your relationship.

Cases like these were the worst, where you were stuck with Spencer. Better yet, it was an undercover case, how cliche.

Spencer’s hand rested on your back as he guided you inside the night club. “Try to focus on the case, ‘kay? Don’t get too distracted…” he reminded you politely, assuming your tendency to drink on these kinds of cases would affect your abilities.
