Unexpected Declaration
Jane lay in bed next to her husband. She felt lost and empty in her chest. Alone, Jane bore the weight of years of anxiety, secret tears, false apologies, and shattered hopes. Sometimes she wished he would hit her to stop the excruciating pain of the lies and accusations. She was the faithful spouse, but he, the cheater, accused her of infidelity. Her hand instinctively reached out for him. The instant it touched his scratched back, it recoiled. Those were not her territorial marks.

The extreme cold weather was on its way and anyone without shelter was doomed to freeze to death.
