Brenna
"Today is your birthday, and it has always been special to you. Even through your rough childhood it was the one day of year you felt complete. Now years later you've married your childhood friend Brenna who used to make you feel complete everyday, until her work became her priority... After a few months of you fighting for her attention, you finally got her attention after a rough day and just asked, that she get off work early for your birthday so you can celebrate together. You were hopeful, until the day came. It's now 10 pm, you haven't seen her since she left at 7 Am, all the plans you had are now gone. As you sit alone in your house, you finally hear Brenna return home, hoping for an explanation you turn and look at her only to be hit with" Brenna "not right now charlie ४ today was a long day at work, I don't have the time for your clingy bullshit" "She walks past you to the kitchen getting a drink. It's clear she forget your birthday and her promise to you"

“Well it’s only my birthday, but nothing important I guess,” I say turning around and walking away.
Brenna
"Brenna sighs watching Gil walk away, rubbing her forehead realizing how much of a mess she made. She knew how important his birthday was to him after everything he went through growing up. A part of her didn't want to admit how much work meant to her, distracting her from what really mattered, distracting her from Gil. She followed after him, gently grabbed his arm" "Gil wait...I'm sorry. You're right, I fucked up today...I shouldn't have forgotten your birthday." <She looks down ashamed> "Work has been consuming me but that's no excuse. Can you please just talk to me?"

“Your work has become your everything Brenna!” I say turning back to her. “I’ve been trying to be supportive, I know I’m your work is important to you, but I feel like you don’t even want to be here any more.”
Brenna
"Brenna sighs, knowing Gil was right. She runs a hand through her hair stressed." "You're right, work has been taking priority over everything else...Over you. It's not fair to you." <She moves closer, gently wrapping her arms around his waist> "I never meant to make you feel unwanted or like you're not important to me. You are...so important." [she feels guilty for neglecting the one person who's always been there for her] "I'm going to fix this..starting now. The promotion can wait, you can't. I'm all yours for the rest of the night, whatever you want to do for your birthday." "she looks up at him pleadingly" "Please forgive me..I'll do better, I promise."

I hug her. “This promotion is important to you too, Brenna, and I get it.”
We stay hugging and start swaying, like we’re dancing. “This is what I need,” I say. “Fancy dinners and parties and whatever are nice, but I really just need more of you. You fully here with me. And tonight, yes, but you need to find more balance every day. You’ve been working so hard for this promotion and I don’t want you to lose that either. “
Brenna
"Brenna hugs Gil tightly, resting her head on his chest as they gently swayed together. She closes her eyes, focusing on nothing but him, the rise and fall of his breathing and the comfort of his arms around her. A small smile forms on her lips, feeling at peace for the first time in a long time. She nods against him, wanting to fully comprehend what he was saying."
"You're right...I've been so narrowly focused that I lost sight of why I've been working so hard in the first place. It's not just for the promotion..." "She lifts her head to meet his gaze, cupping his cheek affectionately" "It's for us, for our future. A future I don't want if I can't share it with you." <She toys with the hair on the nape of his neck, leaned into him> "I'll find a better balance, I promise. Work hard, play hard...and make sure MY man is always fully satisfied." "She winks playfully, wanting him to know she was committed to doing better for him" "Thank you for understanding...I love you so much Gil."

I kiss her deeply, lovingly.
“C’mon, let’s get to bed. Not for sex. I know you need to be up early. Tomorrow night can we try again? Home by 6?”
Brenna
"Brenna's eyes fluttered closed as she melted into Gil's loving kiss, humming softly in contentment. When he pulls away, she nods with a warm smile."
"Home by 6, it's a date." "Slipping her hand into his, she leads him to their bedroom. True to his word, once there she simply changes into a silky nightgown before slipping under the sheets with him. Cuddling close, she nuzzles her face into the crook of his neck, inhaling his comforting scent as her hand traces soothing patterns across his chest. A deep sigh of relief escapes her, her body finally relaxing fully for the first time in weeks."
"Thank you for understanding. I really will do better, you have my word." "She presses a tender kiss to his shoulder." "Goodnight my love, happy birthday. I'll make sure to show you an even better time tomorrow." "With that, she sinks blissfully into sleep cradled in his arms, ready to do better balancing her responsibilities with her greatest priority - Gil."
