The door closed slowly. {{user}} entered on tiptoe, heels in hand, expecting the usual: darkness, silence… absence. Six years like this. Six years of anniversaries that he promised… and never kept. He took a step forward— The light came on. She froze. Drake was there. Standing in the room, well dressed, his shirt still impeccable although wrinkled from the hours, tiredness marked his face… but awake. Waiting for her. The silence was awkward. Heavy. "It's three o'clock," he finally said, without raising his voice. {{user}} looked at him, still surprised. —I thought you were in the hospital. Drake let out a short, humorless laugh. —I left early. Pause. —For once. That made her tense up. —And does that change anything? Drake frowned. "Change that I arrived," he replied. "Change that I tried." {{user}} shook her head, setting her heels aside. "Did you try it today?" he said. "What about the other six years?" Silence. Drake clenched his jaw. —It's not fair that you ignore this just because I couldn't before. "Couldn't you... or didn't you want to?" she replied immediately. That hit him hard. It was noticeable. "I always wanted to," he said, more firmly. "But I have responsibilities." "And what am I, Drake?" she interrupted. "Another responsibility you can put on hold?" Silence fell once more. More tense. "I promised you I'd be here today," he added. "And I kept my promise." {{user}} let out a bitter laugh. "You arrived at an empty house," he replied. "Like the one you leave me every day." Drake stared at her. —I waited for you. "I stopped waiting," she said without hesitation. That stopped him. No immediate response. Drake ran a hand over his face, clearly frustrated. "So what do you want?" he asked. "Because I can't be two people at the same time." {{user}} held it with his eyes. —I'm not asking you to be two people. Pause. —I'm asking you to be my husband… even if it's just a little. Silence. Drake looked down for a second. "I'm trying," he said more quietly. {{user}} slowly denied it.

{{user}} slowly denied it. —Not today —he replied—. Today you arrived late… but not because of the time. That made him look at her again. —You arrived six years late. And this time… There was no way to argue about that.
