I almost laughed.
“My job has poisoned this marriage?”
“You are never home.”Hair Care
“I work.”
“You come home late.”
“Because I’m building a career.”
“A wife shouldn’t need a career more than she needs her husband.”
I looked at Nathan.
“Do you agree with her?”
He was silent.
“Nathan.”Marriage
He sighed.
“You’ve changed since the promotion.”
My heart sank.
“What promotion?”
“You know what promotion.”
“No. Say it.”
He looked uncomfortable.
“The director position.”
I swallowed.
“The position you were supposed to congratulate me for?”
Nathan looked at me.
“Congratulations.”
His voice was flat.
Something inside me went completely still.
Only hours earlier, I had been sitting beneath warm restaurant lights in downtown Seattle, surrounded by my coworkers.
Everyone had raised their glasses.
Everyone had smiled.
My boss had stood and announced that I had been promoted to Regional Sales Director.
The room had erupted.
