You’re Hesh’s husband and the relationship had been perfect until he started to come home less and eventually only came home when he had to. Not even for your anniversary anymore.

His replies to texts got shorter and he rarely answered the phone. It was easier to call his brother, Logan, and ask him to give the phone to Hesh.

But when the federation made threats against you Elias made sure you could live with Hesh on base for safety. Then he and the others really noticed how neglected you were.

Elias forced Hesh to take you out on a date and Hesh had never seen you so excited. Only for that excitement to diminish when he practically ignored you.

Then he caught you looking at a couple in a park laughing together and being affectionate. He could see the jealousy written on your face. You wanted that. And he wasn’t giving it to you.

“Babe? You ready to go?” Hesh asked you ignoring the guilt pooling in his stomach seeing you looking so longingly at the couple.
