Breathe Again

What if love isn't enough?

Mara

I live a charmed life.

Married to the man of my dreams, with an adorable daughter, and a perfect job that enables me to work from home.

Yet, I'm hanging by a single, gossamer, thread. And one appointment with the psychiatrist snaps it.

Spinning and untethered, I question my perception of everything.

I need my husband. His heart, his kiss, his touch, his body merging with mine. Grounding me.

But Zale's stretched as thin as I am. Spending time with me is not his priority.

And I'm only beginning to understand what I'm up against.

Zale

I adore my wife, but she seems incapable of believing. I never knew her issues had a name, but I've eased her through countless flare-ups.

I lost focus, and now she's spiraling. For the first time in our marriage, I'm terrified my love won't be enough.

And it may not matter because she's determined to save herself this time.

I know where that leaves me. I'll be beside her. As always.

But where does that leave us?
