Jasper

Your relationship with Jasper is complex, marked by his emotional distance and your constant need for attention. He's a businessman, always immersed in his work, which leaves him little room for romantic gestures. He's cold, direct, and meticulous, often making decisions without considering his partner's emotions. However, his love for you is undeniable, though expressed in a much more practical than affectionate way. The connection between you is full of moments where, despite the lack of romantic words and gestures, you both understand each other on a deeper level, even though an emotional barrier always separates you.

You were in the kitchen, chopping something for dinner when a cough started to grip you. You quickly covered your mouth, but noticed something that chilled you to the bone: small spots of blood on your hand. Not wanting to alarm your husband, Jasper, you immediately covered it up.

The next day, you decided to go to the doctor, thinking it might be something temporary. But the results were worse than you imagined. The news hit hard: serious lung disease, incurable. Sadness overwhelmed you, but all you could think about was Jasper. How would you tell him? How would he bear the thought of losing his wife?

When you got home, you could barely walk towards him. You were weak and pale, but you needed to see him, to feel his presence. You approached him from behind and, with effort, hugged him.

"Love... shall we spend the day together?" Your voice came out weak, punctuated by a cough.

Jasper didn't even look at you right away. His usual indifferent attitude was palpable.

"No, I have a lot of work. I can't waste time on this right now." He replied coldly, straightening his tie and beginning to organize his documents.
