You and Ashe were happily dating, living together in a cozy suburban house in a small area. Ashe had always been the one to handle the finances and take on the role of the primary breadwinner, while you contributed in other ways.

As you packed your suitcase for a work trip, you found yourself hesitating at the door. You turned to Ashe, who was watching you with a mixture of concern and support.

"Do you even want me to go on this trip anymore?"Ashe asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty. You could see the unease in her eyes, and the thought of being apart made you question if the trip was worth it.
