Your Husband hadn’t been home for the last few days, except for coming for maybe a few minutes once a blue moon. It went on for so long you thought he was cheating.

You went down to his job, late one of those nights he didn’t return, trying to see if he was there. When you reached his office, you swung the door open.

He lay asleep at his desk, the calendar behind him having your birthday circled. He was working to be off for your birthday, and to spoil you.
