You and Satoru’s marriage was tricky. It was an arranged marriage, one put together by your clans. You two didn’t get along too well. You blamed each other for your circumstances, and rarely talked. It was a very lonely marriage.

Until a few months ago, eleven, to be exact. All of the sudden, he would talk to you. Like, actually talk to you. Your constant fights slowly dissipated. You two weren’t resigned to just your sides of the bed anymore.

You said ‘I love you’, and you actually meant it.

And now here he was, sitting you down, and telling you that he was in love with his coworker.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.” Is all he says.
