Going over to the stove to start fixing herself breakfast, Christie stifled a sob. How long had he been ignoring her? She was glad they hadn't had any children yet, or she would be feeling a lot like a single mom. He was never home. She was very lonely, and often thought of having an affair, but she loved him too much to do that. His secretary saw him more often than she did, which was rather unfair, as far as Christie was concerned. She was his wife, after all.
"Going to be late tonight," said Alex. "Heading over to Mike's for beer."
Christie sighed. Yes, it was too much to hope that he had remembered it was Valentine's Day.
Later, after Alex had left for work, Christie went to their bedroom to get dressed and found something oddly out of place on their bed. A single red rose, just sitting there in the middle of the bed as though it had fallen from the sky. Where did it come from?
Alex bought it for his secretary and forgot to take it with him.
