"It wasn't going to happen Ben. You cheated on me." Katie spat at him.
"Only once, and it was an accident." He tried to defend himself.
"Oh you accidentally put your dick in another girl's mouth?" she asked.
"We were drunk. We were all drunk. Katie you know that."
"Drunk isn't an excuse, Ben. Millions, billions of people get drunk every weekend and don't cheat."
"I didn't think that…"
"Exactly you didn't think." She cut him off.
"Katie," he tried.
"Don't Katie me, Ben. You screwed up, and your actions have consequences." She turned to walk away from him. He started to follow her, but decided against it at the last minute, and turned back to his computer. It had been the worst mistake of his life. He couldn't live with himself having hurt her like that, but for her to not even let him close to her afterwards stung. He had thought they were forever, an unshakeable match. He had shaken things, and they had broken. Now he wanted only to fix his mistake, but he was not going to be given that opportunity.
Lucas joined him at the computer. "Hey Ben, any idea why Commander Hitchcock looks so upset?"
"Does she?" he asked, almost hopefully.
"She does," Lucas confirmed.
"It's a long story. I screwed up, years ago, and she won't let me forget it," Ben said shaking his head.
