Two weeks had passed since I first brought her home, I did everything a good husband was supposed to do.

Cooked, cleaned and come running when she'd call for me. Drive her to all her appointments. When I meant everything I meant everything.

Even if she didn't like me to do so. And some of the things she tried to do her self. It hit me right in the heart because I was the one who caused this. If it wasn't for me she wouldn't have to go through all of this. Just to get back to the person she once was.

But would help her no matter what.

................................


Later on that day, as we were driving home from one of her doctor appointments. I asked.

" Should we go out to lunch today ? " I asked her because I wanted to give her a change of scenery. Hoping to lift her spirits, to have a nice distraction from staying home all the time. And I needed it also.

" I think we should head back, " she told me looking forlorn.

" But why ? I know a restaurant with good food, it would be nice for us. Just let me take you out. "

" Why would you want to take me to one of those snobby places. They would only stare at me, wondered why, how the cripple girl caught him, " she spoke as she touched her braced leg.

I winced at her statement. It's true she's like this because of me. But I wouldn't stand by, let anybody say anything bad about her in my presence.

" It doesn't matter what they say. Because I love you, to hell with them ! "

Then she began to cry. And I knew I was pushing it a little to much. I didn't care if we were seen in public together. I loved her but she didn't see it that way.

So I opted to her wishes.

" If you don't wanna go. I won't force you, " I told her, made an u- turn to head to the nearest highway exit to take us back home.

......................................


Entering the house, I helped her into the house, straight over to the couch. In which she sat silence, with me also as I went to the kitchen sitting my keys down.

Going over to the fridge, looking over it's contents to see what I could put together. Then take out some deli meats and cheeses. And grabbed the mayo too, sat everything down then announced.

" I'm making sandwiches. Would you like me to fix you one too Marie ? "

" Yes " she replied as I went to work on this sandwiches.



.......................


After finishing our lunch, I asked Marie if she was tired. Because she was looking a little like it. But she said she wasn't.

" Let's watch a movie then. "

" What kind of movie ? "

" You'll see when I turn it on, " I grinned knowing how she would feel.

So I got the remote, turned it to the section to pull up Netflix, pushed favorites. Then the movie started to play in a instant. I know her emotions would also follow suit.

And which it did when I heard.

" Oh my god ! Stephano ! I haven't seen this one in awhile. Because I can remember when we used watch this so much over the years. But we stopped once we enter.... " she began to say growing quiet. And I went around the couch to sit next to her, noticed.

That she was crying. Oh god ! have I done the wrong thing again. I didn't mean anything by this. I just wanted to make her happy. But it seems I have failed again.

" Aw Marie what's wrong ? " I asked patting her leg trying to comfort her.

And she responded with " I don't know. I just don't know, " her body began tremble under my touch. And I immediately put my arms around her as she cried with the movie going un-watched in front of us.
