“You’re mad,” Grace says from where she sits at the end of the bed.

“What gave you that idea?” I reply mildly as I change clothes.

“I was going to tell you…”

Spinning around, I glare at her. “When? Before or after you moved?”

“That’s not fair.”

“No, what’s not fair is hearing about it for the first time with the rest of your family.”

Grace sighs and twists her ring around on her finger. “I don’t know what I want, Lawson. You know that we haven’t had the best marriage lately.”

I bite back the harsh words I want to say.

“I know my being gone so much is part of it—”

“Try all of it,” I snap, unable to stay silent.

“Don’t act like you’re so innocent.”

I shake my head. “I’m not. It takes two people to have a marriage, and while things weren’t perfect before, you can’t deny it didn’t start going to hell until after you got this promotion.”

“What exactly are you saying, Lawson?”

“You only care about your job! Don’t try to deny it. Ever since you got that promotion it’s been the only thing that matters to you. You’ve always been career driven and I love that about you. I love that you know what you want and you go after it, but you seem ready to sacrifice everything we’ve built for your job and that’s not okay. Your priorities have shifted and our marriage is at the bottom.”

She’s quiet for a long time, and when she glances at me, I can see the pain in her eyes. “I don’t know what you want me to say.”

I have to blink back tears. My voice breaks when I respond, “I just want you to love me and put as much care into our relationship as you do your job.”

She doesn’t say anything, but then, she doesn’t have to. She’s made her choice. Now, I just have to make mine.
