The anniversary dinner sat cold on the mahogany table, the candlelight flickering out in the drafty apartment. For three years, Sophie had played second fiddle to a glowing monitor. Damon, known to the e-sports world as DamonReaper, was locked in a grueling ranked climb. The atmosphere was thick with the rhythmic, aggressive clack-clack of his mechanical keyboard and the blue light reflecting off his focused, sweat-beaded face.
"Damon, it's been three hours since the reservation," Sophie whispered, her voice trembling with a mix of exhaustion and resentment.
"Just one more round, Soph! This is the placement match!" he barked, eyes never leaving the screen.
Back in college, his passion was charming; now, it was a wall between them. Sophie had spent all day preparing, hoping to reclaim the man she fell in love with before the "Reaper" persona took over. Standing in the doorway, she finally snapped.
"Choose, Damon. Either you log off right now and spend the last hour of our anniversary with me, or you can sleep in that gaming chair permanently. I’m done being an NPC in your life."
Damon froze, his character idling in a dangerous zone. He looked at the timer, then at Sophie’s tearful eyes. "Wait... is it already the fourteenth?"
