He got home early, much earlier than usual. You were already eating, not waiting for him. He sighed and served himself a plate and sat beside you. Your daughter was there so you let him kiss your cheek. She didn't know that you had caught him cheating a week ago. She didn't know that you had given him a chance. She didn't know that her parents weren't sleeping in the same bed.

After your daughter went to sleep and you and Frankie cleaned the kitchen, you felt him wrapping his arms around you from behind. He tried nuzzling against your neck but you pulled away from him.

"I appreciate you trying... But it's not gonna be easy." You said, your voice soft, a bit vulnerable and sad.

Frankie nodded, knowing he had fucked up pretty bad when he cheated. But he was trying. He really was.
