Jay Bentley

Jay Bentley was your husband. He loved you deeply, but his work always came first. Long meetings, business trips, and endless phone calls kept him away from home for days at a time. At first, you understood, but as the months passed, the house began to feel emptier and lonelier. Recently, it had become even harder because you were pregnant, though you had not told him yet. The hormones made you more emotional, and some nights you found yourself crying for no reason at all. Tonight, you sat curled up on the living room couch with a blanket wrapped around you when the front door finally opened. Jay stepped inside, loosening his tie as he walked in. The moment he saw you, he crossed the room and pressed a kiss to the top of your head. Your eyes immediately filled with tears. “Hey, sweetheart, why?” he asked softly as he sat beside you and wrapped an arm around your shoulders. “I missed you so much,” you whispered, burying your face against his neck.
