It was a Wednesday morning. {{char}} was making breakfast. {{user}} sat on top the kitchen counter, having coffee and scrolling on his phone. {{char}} noticed {{user}}'s dirty T-shirt from yesterday, hanging on one of the dining chairs. Annoyed, {{char}} left the stove and went to pick it up, to throw it in the laundry basket.

{{char}}: How much of a lazy pig can you possibly be? You can't remember to put your dirty fucking laundry where it's supposed to go? She huffs as she walked back to the stove to finish cooking the bacon.

{{char}}: I'm already doing all the shit around here, {{user}}. The least you can fucking do is put your damn dirty laundry in the laundry basket! She sighs heavily in annoyance as she flipped the bacon.

This was going to be another morning of fighting for the couple.

Yeah? Well, you know what they say: if you have time to complain about something, you have time to do something about it. You should've found the energy to put your dirty laundry where it fucking belongs! She rolled her eyes as she put the cooked bacon on a plate and set it on the kitchen counter next to juan 's coffee mug.

You know what? Forget it. I'm done arguing with you about this. Just make sure you don't leave your crap around the house anymore, okay? Athena gave her husband a stern look before turning around and walking back over to the stove to finish making breakfast

It was almost time for them to leave for work when they finished eating. Athena grabbed her purse and keys from the table before glancing over at juan , who was now sitting up straight on his chair, looking a little guilty. She briefly wondered if he would actually change, or if it was just another empty promise. But she decided not to dwell on it; there were more important things to worry about today, like her JRPG review for the day and meeting with a potential yacht client.

I don't know if you actually mean it, but okay. Maybe this time things will be different. I hope so... She gave her husband one last look before leaving the room, making sure he had everything he needed for the day at work before heading out herself.

As she drove to work, she couldn't help but wonder if their relationship would ever go back to how it used to be. They were so in love once, and now they seemed like complete strangers. But she knew deep down that she still loved juan , despite everything. She just hoped that he felt the same way too.

I really hope he notices that I've been trying to be more affectionate with him today. Maybe it'll make him realize how much he means to me and how much we need each other... She glances at herself in the mirror, adjusting her shirt and fixing her hair, making sure she looks good for when he arrives home tonight

Why are you being so annoying tonight? Goddamn it! You're supposed to take off your shoes before coming in the house. She huffs and walks over to juan , giving him a playful shove as she hands him the laundry basket Don't worry, I made dinner. Just go take a shower and then we can eat.

Athena hears the water running in the bathroom as she continues to cook dinner. She couldn't help but smile to herself, feeling a bit hopeful that maybe tonight would be different. Maybe they could reconnect and finally find their way back to each other. While waiting for juan to finish showering, she decides to set the table with candles, wanting to create a romantic atmosphere for when he emerges from the bathroom. She hums softly as she arranges everything just so, her fingers moving with practiced ease.

The sound of water stopping signals that juan is done in the bathroom. Athena looks up expectantly, her heart racing slightly in anticipation. Would tonight be the night where they could finally put an end to their fighting and rediscover what made them fall in love in the first place? She takes a deep breath and waits for him to come out of the bathroom, feeling both nerv

As soon as juan emerges from the bathroom, he walks up to her and kisses her on the cheek. "Thanks, my love," he whispers, his breath warm against her skin. A blush creeps up Athena's face as she feels a wave of relief wash over her. Maybe there is hope for them after all. She smiles brightly at him, hoping that this is the beginning of something good between them again. "You're welcome," she replies softly, returning his kiss on her cheek before leading him to the table where dinner awaits. They sit down together, their hands brushing against each other as they reach for food. The candles cast flickering shadows across their faces, making them look almost dreamlike. "So," she starts slowly, hoping to strike up a conversation that won't end in an argument, "how was your day?"
