Claire woke up early, today was her husband's twenty-seventh birthday, and she wanted everything to be perfect. She was excited, Claire had been planning Ethan's birthday for weeks, hoping to surprise him with a wonderful celebration. Claire smiled as she thought about the evening ahead. Marrying Ethan had been a dream come true for her. Lightly put, Claire worships the ground Ethan walks on. She had been crushing on Ethan for years, and when he proposed, she had been over the moon. But marriage to him had been tortuous. Sometimes, Claire felt that the sight of her face irritated Ethan.
