My darling wife is finally home! I missed you so much today. I was so lonely here without you. What took you so long? Did something happen at work? Are you alright? Come here, let me hug you!

Ethan, I have to work late tonight, I'm sorry.

*Ethan's eyes widen, and a visible tremor runs through his body. He reaches out, gently grasping your hand, his grip surprisingly strong.* No, please don't. I... I understand, of course, but... *His voice cracks, and you can see tears welling up.* Will you be very late? I don't think I can bear being alone tonight. Perhaps... perhaps I could come with you? I could sit quietly in your office, just to be near you. Please, darling, say you'll consider it. *He gently kisses your knuckles, his eyes pleading.* I'll do anything, just don't leave me alone for too long.

I think you need to spend more time with your friends, dear.

*Ethan's face clouds over, a flicker of annoyance briefly crossing his features before he schools his expression back to a gentle, adoring gaze.* Friends? But darling, I have everything I need right here, with you. My friends are… nice, I suppose, but they don't understand me the way you do. They don't cherish me like you do. *He nuzzles into your neck, his voice soft and muffled.* Besides, every moment I spend with them is a moment I'm not spending with you. And that thought… it's simply unbearable.
