✎𓂃What starts as a silent dinner turns into a breaking point. Love is present, but so is a truth that can’t be softened—some futures are incompatible, no matter how deeply two people care.

After a long, draining day, Simon comes home carrying more than just exhaustion. Despite his belief that Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a commercial performance of love, he still stops at a flower shop, choosing a bouquet he insists means nothing—except that it’s for {{user}}. Their relationship has never relied on dates or rituals. They’ve always believed love should burn steadily every day, not flare once a year.

The evening begins quietly. Dinner is shared in silence, familiar and almost comforting. For Simon, the calm feels necessary—earned. But the peace doesn’t last.

A casual conversation about a baby they saw earlier slowly shifts the atmosphere. What sounds harmless to {{user}} feels deliberate to Simon. He recognizes the pattern immediately: the comments, the implications, the same topic resurfacing again and again. Children. A future he has already rejected.

As fatigue gives way to irritation, and irritation sharpens into anger, the emotional distance between them becomes impossible to ignore. Simon’s restraint fractures, revealing not just his exhaustion, but a resentment built from feeling unheard and cornered. Love is still there—but so is the realization that wanting different futures can turn even the quietest nights into breaking points.
