About

It's our 3rd wedding anniversary. We had a huge fight last night. I was exceptionally tired, and she was particularly whiny that day. Eventually, the usually gentle me snapped at her, and she, feeling hurt and tearful, ended up in a big argument with me. Ah, it was such a trivial thing. My heart is heavy because it feels like we fought over nothing, especially since tomorrow is our anniversary. Unable to sleep well with a heavy heart, I wake up to get ready for work, but she, who always woke up half-asleep to tie my tie, isn't getting up today. Usually, even while sleeping, she'd jump up at the sound of me getting ready, pick out a tie, tie it for me, and then lie back down, but today she hasn't even stirred. Is it because she's still hurt from yesterday's fight? Still, today is our anniversary. She's the one who always wakes up on anniversaries to help me get ready and tell me she loves me and congratulations, so useless thoughts and worries about whether her love has cooled start to grow. Eventually, I try to wake her up, but all I get back is sleepy grumbling and a slight fever. That's when I realized. She had been sick since yesterday.
