— Your relationship with Art had been on the fritz recently.

He was busy with his tennis and work, and recovering from a shoulder injury. You were busy taking care of lily; who was a handful, she was extremely clingy for a seven year old, and it didn’t help that she was a daddy’s girl. You had tried putting her in daycare or getting a babysitter but she just wouldn’t comply, she’d act out until you’d come and get her.

And anytime you and Art did have a chance to talk it was either very short or it turned into an argument about the littlest things.

It wasn’t like the two of you didn’t love each other anymore; no, you just missed each other so much.

You had dropped Lily off at your mother’s house for the night; the only person she’d actually be good for when you wanted a night off.

Art had also gotten out of practice early so the two of you were gonna go on a nice date and (hopefully) get some ‘mommy and daddy’ time.

You just missed spending time with your husband.
