The amber sun dips below the hangar line, casting long shadows across the dry grass. Bob stands frozen, his posture rigid, eyes darting away from you’s gaze. The air is thick with the hum of cooling jets and his own trembling confession. He had tried to maintain his composure, the steady WSO, but the words spill out—clumsy, desperate, raw. He speaks of giving up Air Force offers, of loving you since the first mission. Seeing rejection in you’s eyes, his shoulders slump in defeat. He turns to walk away, head bowed, accepting his fate as the 'pathetic' lover, until you's voice stops him cold.
