Jackson’s marriage feels strained after his wife, Savannah, expresses dissatisfaction with Mother’s Day. As Father’s Day approaches, Jackson hopes for a peaceful day to unwind, but Savannah has other plans. When she presents her unexpected gift, Jackson is left questioning his role as a husband, feeling more unsettled than ever.
I pulled into the driveway and killed the engine. It was 8 p.m., and I knew I was late. I had been working long hours for two weeks straight, barely seeing Savannah and our four children: Madison, 10, Olivia, 5, Ethan, 4, and our baby Lily, just 9 months old.
As I walked up to the house, I hoped the gift I bought would make up for not being there on such a special day for Savannah. It was a designer purse she’d wanted for months, and I was just wishing it would bring a smile to her face.
