Chapter 14

I rolled over and noticed I was lying in the bed by myself. I looked around trying to see if my wife was within eyesight, but she wasn’t. I wiped away the sleep from my eyes and got out of bed to look for my love.

I walked down the steps and headed into the family room. There was no sight of her. I was puzzled. I knew she hadn’t left. It was too late at night for her to go anywhere. I walked into the kitchen to see just how late it actually was and to make sure she really hadn’t ventured off in the middle of the night. The digital clock on the microwave read 3:37a.m and her car keys were in plain view on the opposite countertop.

I headed back upstairs. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me and I had missed her shadow in the bathroom. Again, I was met with disappointment as she was nowhere in sight.

Where is she? I thought. Then it came to me. I walked into the baby’s room and there she was staring out the window.

“Here you are,” I said, startling her. “I’m sorry, baby. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just didn’t know where you were.” I noticed the distraught look on her face. “Baby, what’s wrong?”

She sniffled. “Are you happy?”

I was baffled by her question. I had just enjoyed a very passionate and fulfilling night with her. How couldn’t I be happy? I walked up to her, placed my arms around her, and looked deep into her eyes.

“Are you kidding me? Of course I’m happy! How could you ask me such a thing? Everything I did tonight was to show you how much you mean to me and how important you are to me.”

“I don’t mean with me. I mean period. Are you happy with your life?”

“Baby, we talked about this earlier. For the most part I am. I mean, I can’t really complain about anything. It’s so easy for me to but I actually cherish my mistakes because if I hadn’t made them, then I wouldn’t be the man I am today. I’d be more flawed and further from perfection.”

That brought a small smile to her face. “So you think you are close to perfection?”

“Hell NO! I’m light years away from it but I am closer than I was a year ago. Why? Because I learned from the mistakes I previously made.”

“I wish I could think as positive about everything as you do. I’m not surprised though. I can’t think of one time when you haven’t made the best of any situation.”

“Baby, I just don’t see the point of sitting around and feeling sorry for myself or highlighting something negative.”

“I’m not happy with my life, Marco. I try to act like I am but I’m really not. Earlier tonight, I wasn’t totally honest with you. When I was a child, all I wanted to do was be a dancer. I love to dance. I’d lie in my bed and just dream about dancing on Broadway.
