A LETTER
One day, while he was away from home and sleeping in a hotel room, John received a letter from Iris. This was unusual as she would always text him if she wanted to talk. He nervously opened the letter, unsure of what would be written inside. As soon as he read it, he burst into tears.
Iris told him that the new job was tearing them apart. She told him that their marriage was on the brink. She told him that she was more lonely than she’d been when she was single and that she couldn’t watch things move in the direction they were going in. She gave him an ultimatum – he needed to quit his job in order to save his marriage.
