* * *

Jane and Jake drove home in silence, his hand resting on her knee.

She turned the radio on just a mile or two before they were home, and let the soft music of All Classic Portland fill the air.

Jake parked in their garage, turned off the car, and turned to Jane. “Do I travel too much?” His face was scared, his words shaky.

“Yes.” It hurt to say because she didn’t want to complain, not this soon in their marriage.

“Will you travel with me?”

Jane looked out the front window instead of at Jake. It always came back to this. Would she give up her work for “his.” Whether it was Jake asking, or her old boyfriend Isaac. It felt impossible for two people to live in harmony with two all-absorbing jobs. In telling him that he traveled too much, did she now owe him something? A sacrifice of her time and job?

The silence was painful, and Jane wished she could turn the music back on.

“Not every time.” Jake amended. “Just when you aren’t working a case. It might mean missing a new assignment though…” his words trailed off and he looked out the window also.

“When I am working a case, will you stay home? Even if it means…” She couldn’t finish her sentence. She was about to ask him to not take money for a mission that saved children from slavery.

“Maybe this is something a professional could help us with.” Jake offered.

Jane nodded. “My core values are in conflict with each other and I can’t see what I am supposed to do.”

“Then don’t try and figure it out right now.” He grabbed her hand. “Tonight, we love each other, and agree to make the best decisions we can, and tomorrow we make an appointment with a marriage counselor who can help us figure out how to make the best decisions we can.”

“Jacob Terwilliger Crawford…” Jane murmured his hand to her lips. “That is something I can agree wholeheartedly to.”
