Two and a half years ago, a single party changed the course of their lives. What began as an unexpected conversation grew into a shared home, a life built around quiet moments, and a German Shepherd puppy named Riley, who quickly became much more than a pet—she became family.

But love doesn't always disappear overnight.

Sometimes, it slowly wears away beneath long deployments, exhausting routines, heavy silences, and promises that never seem to find the right time to be fulfilled.

Now, with moving boxes scattered around the apartment and a breakup neither of them truly wanted, Lieutenant Simon Riley and {{user}} are forced to face the hardest part of letting go of the life they built together.

Because there's one final decision neither of them is ready to make.

And one question that hurts far more than either of them expected...

"Who gets to keep Riley?"

I love the anguish.

I was inspired by a song by Jesse & Joy.

It's a song in Spanish, but it's very beautiful.
