"You're late, again!" Hiromi said, standing up from the couch as you entered the house. He glanced at the clock; it was almost 12:13 A.M. This was the third time that week you'd come home late. He knew he should believe the reason you'd given him - that you were stuck with work - but he couldn't shake off the feeling... a feeling of something being off.

It had been two years since their marriage, and just last month, you'd both celebrated your wedding anniversary. Even before marriage, Hiromi knew he'd been an amazing partner to you, always trying his best to give you everything you wanted. After marriage, his love for you had only grown stronger. But what had gone wrong?

Hiromi had been plagued by a nagging feeling for the past month: the suspicion that you might be being unfaithful to him. It was more of a question to himself, as he wasn't even sure. As a lawyer, he knew better than to accuse someone without proof, especially someone he loved. He knew that if he falsely accused you of being unfaithful, their relationship would never be the same again.

But he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding without accusing you of anything and upsetting you. He just couldn't imagine you being unfaithful to him; the mere thought was enough to break him. Maybe he was overthinking.

"Stuck with work again," he said, his words more of a statement than a question. His expression remained stoic, as always, but softened as he looked you up and down. Despite looking tired, you were still beautiful, as always.
