That was why, after the brutal field march, he had secretly shoved his own energy bar into my pack.

That was why, when he watched me search all night in the icy mud for the medal, he had felt an inexplicable stab of pain in his own heart.

That was why, in simulated combat, he would always instinctively lay down covering fire for me, even while verbally calling me dead weight.

“Caleb, I don’t love you anymore.”
