Speaking from copious experience, Rufus, bullshit.

[That wasn't a line he'd liked before.]

I had a serious boyfriend when I was in school you know. Little prodigy Reeve Tuesti, falling for the older student. He encouraged me to apply for Shinra you know, told me he understood that the rising star of my life had to come first. Ended up hiring him years later, when I needed help with Edge. He was married. To a woman he had started dating while he was dating me. Bullshit on loved and lost.

[And yes, he's drinking again.]
