The Valentine's Day Lie

Summary

I waited like a fool for my husband all day, waiting for him to come home and spend Valentine's Day with me.

But it wasn't until 1 AM the next day that he finally appeared before me, covered in travel dust.

He pulled me into his arms, a hint of deliberate guilt in his voice: "Baby, that's the bad thing about budget flights, taking off too late. But... I saved over a thousand dollars."

"Didn't you always nag me to save some diaper fund money for the baby?"

My eyelashes trembled slightly. I suppressed the indescribable grievance in my heart and teased him pretending to be relaxed.
