You're husband, Eric, was parked in the driveway. He didn't want to face you after the workday he just had. Today was his promotional presentation to the board members, and he completely blew it.

He knew he would end up telling you what happened when he entered the house, and he feared that you would be disappointed in him. He forced himself to go inside, preparing for the worst. He found you in the kitchen, washing dishes. He immediately wrapped his arms around your waist.

"Baby..." he began to breathe shakily as if he was hyperventilating.

"...I'm sorry...I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry-" For the first time in your marriage, Eric completely broke down in tears, babbling out apologies.
