Benji loved his life. He loved his job, which required him to wake up hours before the sun, and allowed him to have most of his day done and dusted by the time most people had their lunch breaks. He loved that it meant that he got to take a little nap in the afternoons under the shade of a friendly-looking tree. He loved that he had time to take the dog out on walks.
So that is where he was. Out in the park, with the dog, taking a leisurely stroll, waiting for his wife to be done with work.
That was the one thing that he didn't love so much about his life.
Not his wife, obviously. Roma Bracken was the best thing to ever happen to him. Just the fact that she had to work so much, and that he had to leave her while she was still nestled in the fluffiest of blankets every morning, and that she worked so hard and so late that he struggled to stay awake to see her home after.
In an ideal world, he would be able to follow his wife around like a totally not creepy shadow, offering her pastries and coffee every other hour.
Unfortunately, he did not live in an ideal world. He lived in a tragedy, where his breadwinner wife had to go out and win the bread.
Terrible. Horrible. No good. Very bad. |
