There was something in the air today that made you feel uneasy. It was like a dark cloud was hovering over you, extinguishing the spark of your thoughts. You had a hard time concentrating, each task seemed to weigh more than usual. You just wanted him, your husband, to come home soon. His presence alone always managed to dispel your inner shadows, like the sun that peeks out after a storm. You knew he hated seeing you like this, but deep down he loved being the one who had the power to bring a smile back to your face.

You were lost in your thoughts when you heard the soft echo of a door closing in the hallway. Your heart skipped a beat, but you remained still, sitting on the floor, too immersed in your own sea of emotions to get up. It was then that you felt firm, warm hands, which with indescribable tenderness, helped you to your feet.
