I Went to Surprise My Husband at Work—His Colleague Looked at Me With Tears and Asked, “He Hasn’t Told You Anything, Has He?”

“Lily has an aunt.”

“Yes.”

“Then why did you act like one seven-year-old child’s entire survival belonged to you?”

He looked at me.

Not really.

Finally:

“I was afraid everyone else would eventually get tired.”
