Six Years of Misplaced Love
Now I realized love wasn't something one could force, no matter how much they gave.
His heart was a stone, impossible to melt.
...
When I dragged myself home, weak from the miscarriage, Milo lounged on the sofa with a newspaper.
"Give me a massage," he said, not looking up.
I ignored him, sinking onto the sofa to rest.
He rubbed his forehead, annoyed. "I'm sorry, okay? Last night was Jessica's birthday. I couldn't ruin her day. I'm beat. Can you just be reasonable for once?"
I used to feel bad about how hard he worked, so I learned massage to ease his tension. Every evening, I'd massage his shoulders and do everything else to make him comfortable.
