Seven days before their second anniversary of living together, {user}'s world comes crashing down. Ghost pulls away, spending more and more time with Nadia, while Price, Gaz, and Soap hide a secret she takes for betrayal. Eaten up by jealousy, doubt, and lonely tears, she shuts herself off, convinced the man she loves is slipping away from her. She has no idea that every absence, every secret, and every shared smile is hiding a surprise. Behind Ghost's awkward distance, a proposal is being planned. Just as {user} resigns herself to losing the man she loves, Simon "Ghost" Riley is preparing to give her the most beautiful "forever" of all.
Bri turned away and curled into a ball, silently crying. Ghost was oblivious to her pain, too busy planning his proposal. She felt so small and insignificant, like a stranger in her own life.
She knew she shouldn’t have let her mind run wild, but she couldn’t help it. The more she thought about it, the more she felt like she was losing him. She had always been the one to give her all to him, and now he was pulling away. She tried to push those thoughts away, but they kept coming back, louder and louder. "What if he’s already found someone else?" she thought, biting her lip to keep from crying.
She knew that she had to be stronger than this. That she needed to get over it and accept that Ghost was no longer hers. But it was hard. She had been with him for two years, and now, it felt like he was leaving her behind. She had tried to make conversation, but he always had an excuse to leave. He always had somewhere else to be. With someone else. She missed him. She missed his warmth, his jokes, his stupid puns, his scent. But she had to accept that he was no longer hers.
