The belt clinked softly as he set it aside. Then his hand was there, warm and firm, rubbing the heat from her skin. He eased her upright and gathered her into his arms. She cried against his shoulder—not from humiliation, but from relief. The apology came out muffled and genuine. “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.”
Michaela McGowan knew the rules. They had been laid out with the same precision she used to plan her days as a senior project manager: honesty, accountability, and respect for the agreed-upon boundaries. Her husband, David, was not a tyrant, but he was a man of his word. And when Michaela’s temper had gotten the better of her—again—she had broken a specific promise: no more reckless spending without a conversation first.
