Erika
When Clark’s phone rang, his gaze flicked to mine. It was loud in the
trendy restaurant, and his phone was on silent, but it rested face down on
the table, so I could feel the vibration of it through my elbows planted on
the tabletop.
He flipped it over and glanced at the screen, and he didn’t have to say
anything for me to know who was calling. His hesitant expression
announced it was his boss, Derrick, and the software upgrade his company
was rolling out was not going well.

I pressed my lips together to hold in my disappointment. We’d known
for weeks going out tonight would be risky. Clark had been a programmer
for Hale Banking and Holding Company long before we’d met and gotten
married, and never once had an upgrade gone off without a hitch.
“It’s okay,” I said, pushing out a smile. “At least we made it through
most of dinner.”
He shot me an apologetic look as he stood and snatched up his phone.
It was too loud in here, so he’d take the call outside. “Maybe they just have
a question.”
I quirked my eyebrow and tilted my head to let him know I thought he
was dreaming. It seemed like the Nashville branch of HBHC couldn’t run
without him. I’d joked more than once that Derrick was his work husband
and saw Clark far more often than I did. Processing servers were always
going down, or a single error in a line of code would cause a massive issue,
requiring him at all hours of the day.
Even on special nights like this one.
He wasn’t outside long, and when he came back to the table, he didn’t
sit. “They, uh . . . need me to come in.”
Of course they do, I wanted to snap.
My husband was an attractive man. He worked out three times a week
with a trainer, had a handsome face, and took pride in his appearance. But I
couldn’t look at him, too frustrated with the situation. Instead, I stared at the
remainder of the steak I’d ordered for dinner.
“Hopefully it won’t take long,” he added. “But I’m really sorry.”
“It’s okay,” I lied, and forced brightness into my voice. “I’ll take an
Uber and see you at home. Good luck with the system.”
“Thanks.” He leaned down and dropped a quick kiss on my forehead.
“Happy birthday, Erika.”
That was what he left me with. No I love you or a kiss containing a
speck of passion. I shouldn’t have been surprised. My husband had never
been affectionate, and over the last few years, his sex drive had faded to
nothing—right as mine had ramped up to the max. Once the desire for me
had gone, it seemed unlikely it’d ever come back.
Not unless I did something drastic.
