Because of One Breakfast, I Gave Up My Boyfriend of Many Years

I decided to give up on Beckett.

It all started with something trivial. During our research group meeting, Lily brought in some soy milk and buns. Beckett, always protective of the younger girls, covered for her:

"Lily's still young and likes to eat. Let's cut her some slack."

Everyone teased her, their eyes occasionally darting towards me. Only my roommate, who was close to me, stood up for me:

"Beckett, aren't you being biased? When Zoe had a stomach ache and wanted to eat something, you didn't allow it!"

The room fell silent for a moment.
