My 1000th Attempt Worked
"Mark, ten years. Every damn second of those ten years—when didn't she love you? Tell me that. How do you even deserve—how do you deserve someone like Jenna loving you that long?"
She didn't wait for an answer. Just shoved him out of the bar.
Outside, the neon lights hit like prison bars—sharp, cold, and closing in.
He couldn't even see his love anymore.
That's when it hit him.
Ten years married, and not once had he really talked to Jenna.
Not once.
Every moment was her trying not to upset him.
Her breaking down behind a locked door so he wouldn't hear her cry.
Mandy's voice wouldn't stop ringing in his head.
