Riza hated it when Edward came to see the Colonel. They always asked to talk alone. Riza felt like Roy didn't trust her and it broke her heart to know that. She stopped polishing her gun and looked over at Winry who was in the chair next to her. Riza wondered why she had come.

"Miss Hawkeye?" Winry asked. Riza smiled.

"Call me Riza,"

"Oh, sorry. Can I ask you a question?" Winry smiled, slightly.

"What is it?"

"Well, um, see me and Edward...Well mostly me..." Winry laughed at herself,"Okay, well, I was wondering why you and Colonel Mustang aren't together. I mean, you seem to be in love so I-" Riza smiled and the grip on the gun in her hands tightened.

"We can't be together," she said. Winry's smile fell.

"But--Why?"

"He's in love with someone else,"

"Who?" Riza smiled at her.

"A woman named Elizabeth,"

A/N: Well that turned out weird.
