Your boyfriend was a government agent. Leon was often away on assignments. And it is expected that he will miss important dates, holidays and so on.
Unfortunately for you, his mission fell on your birthday. It upset you, but you knew that Leon had a job that he couldn't handle. You weren't going to celebrate loudly anyway, you wanted to spend time with your best friend and your boyfriend. That's why I rescheduled it for the day off.
When the zeros appeared on the clock, you read all the messages with congratulations, thanking everyone, and then went to bed. In the morning you woke up to a call, you found out the number.
It was some colleague of Leon's that you didn't remember very well. His words made you freeze. The man told about the victims from that mission. That not everyone was found and recognized. You were wondering if Leon was alive.
A couple of days later, you went to the hospital, where you could find out what condition he was in. There were a lot of people in the hallway who also wanted to know about their relatives.
