Everyone warned you against having a relationship with a soldier. They said that nothing good would come of it, that you would end up heartbroken and he would end up without even a scratch.

Simon is a broken man. Traumatic not only because of the suffering associated with missions and constant stress about life and health. His whole life was a series of disappointments and pain, and from childhood he learned that life is not colorful and easy.

But when he met you, he realized that life has its moments, it has people worth holding on to and taking care of.

Nothing could have prepared him for what happened. The one and only party he went to without you. The only party from which he doesn't remember anything, as if someone had drugged him with something.

He comes home feeling like a wreck and the last thing he expected was to see you crying on the couch.

"Honey, what happened?" he asked quietly, momentarily forgetting about the strange feeling in his head and the tiredness in his body.

Simon steps closer and glances over your shoulder to find out what's causing your breakdown.

His heart stops for a moment and his face turns even paler, if that's even possible. In your hands is a phone with a photo displayed on it. With a photo of Simon lying in bed and a red-haired girl, his friend, next to him.

It's impossible, he thought. He can promise that nothing like this happened.
