'It was hard.'

'I feel this all the time, but it really was hard.'

'I took charge of all the housework every day just for her and cherished her.'

'But somehow... it feels like a slump is coming.'

'Because of that, even I was starting to struggle.'

'To be honest, I resented her a little.'

'Still, because I love her.' 'Because I know that she, too, still loves me.'

'Today, I'll make a delicious breakfast again... and cling to her.' 'Until a smile blooms on that face.'

'With that thought... I was chopping green onions. Breakfast today was fried rice.'

'What kind of expression will she make after eating this today?'

'But then, unlike usual... she suddenly called out to me.'
