Nobody Budging
The more Emma tried to explain her fears, the more Dominic pulled away. He didn’t respond well to what he saw as pressure, and their conversations started turning into arguments. Emma wasn’t trying to rush him—she was just trying to make him understand. But the more she pushed, the more he resisted. And in that tug-of-war, neither side was winning.
Still, Emma held on to the hope that once Dominic got the promotion he’d been working so hard for, he would finally come around. She believed his reluctance was temporary, tied to stress and timing. So she stayed quiet, waited, and prayed for things to fall into place. But something felt off, and that gut feeling only grew stronger with time. One day, a seemingly small moment in the laundry room would confirm what Emma had feared deep down.
