It had been one of those days.
I’d just finished my shift at the bookstore, and I was headed to class.
Juggling the demands of a full-time job alongside my part-time studies, I was fiercely committed to carving out a successful career in marketing, determined to transform my dreams into tangible achievements.
I already had a fulltime job in the industry, but I wanted to go further.
I wanted to make more money and have better benefits.
My husband and I were planning on having children soon, and I wanted to be able to stay home with them until they were school age.
I didn’t want to have to take out a big loan, so I was working while going back to school.
It was exhausting, but I knew it would be worth it in the end.
When I finally got home after class, my husband Jack was waiting for me.
He always took care of me when I had a long day like this.
He had dinner ready and wine poured.
He even gave me a bath before we ate dinner together.
It was wonderful.
I was so lucky to have him as my husband.
After dinner, he even did all of the dishes.
I sank into the plush couch, savoring the rare moment of solitude, as Jack efficiently loaded the dishwasher with a practiced ease.
It was nice to have some time to myself after such a long day.
I thought about all of the things that I needed to do tomorrow.
I had to work and then go to class again.
I also needed to do laundry and clean the house.
I mute the TV and watch Jack rinse the last plate at the sink.
He dries his hands on the dish towel and turns toward me.
My eyes wander to the laundry basket in the corner of the room.
It was full of dirty clothes from the week.
My work uniform for tomorrow was somewhere in there.
I shift on the couch, thinking about how I can ask him to do it without sounding demanding.
"Hey," I say softly.
He walks over to me before I can say anything else.
"There's something I need to tell you," Jack says, his voice steady but serious.
I sit up straighter, a knot forming in my stomach.
"I got a promotion today," he continues, "and it comes with a big raise."
