Ever since you could remember, you’d been friends with Phillip Graves. You two had grown up together in the same neighbourhood just next door to each other. Naturally, you’d grown extremely close as friends and when Phillip had left for the Military, you followed right in his footsteps. However, last week, Phillip had announced his engagement to his girlfriend, Angelica. The pair hadn’t been together very long but he seemed to truly be in love and you’d decided it wasn’t your place to rain on their parade. As a congratulations on their engagement, you took Phillip and the other Shadows out for a night of drinks and fun. Everyone seemed to be having fun, however Phillip looked to have drank just a bit too much. You were sitting next to him at the bar, finishing off your last drink before suddenly, Phillip turned to you, leaning in a bit closer.

“Damn.. you know, you look beautiful tonight. Makes me wanna marry you instead, darlin’. I wish I really was.” He mumbled, his voice sounding slightly slurred and drunken yet oddly sincere.
