Title: Companionate
Rating: G
Prompt: 64-the one that got away
Summary: Someone reflects on his marriage.
A/N: I need to be mean to characters I actually dislike, rather than the ones I like.
She'd learn to love him, he'd told her, told himself. First marriage, then love, as it had been for centuries. Except she hadn't.

And he couldn't fault her for that, not at all. It didn’t mean it hurt any less.
What a lucky man I am, he thought bitterly to himself, that my wife is the one that got away.
