Vicky took out her phone and came close to having a heart attack from rage when she saw his only response was a question mark.
[When are we going to file for divorce?] she texted.
In the next two hours, there was no response.
Four hours later, she finally received another text from him.
[I'm busy.]
[When are you free?] Vicky replied.
Tyler did not respond again, even after Vicky fell asleep.
'Maybe he really is busy,' Vicky thought and glanced at the clock, noticing that it was almost midnight.
Since Tyler did not even have the time to respond to her texts, she assumed he would not return home and found consolation in that thought.
She turned off the lights and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Sometime later, she woke up to a forceful kiss, and everything felt like deja vu from the night before.
She felt confused at first, and it took her a while before she finally realized that the man who claimed to be so busy that he could not respond to text messages returned home.
...
When she woke up, Tyler was again nowhere to be found.
She tried calling him again, and he simply said a few words before hanging up.
She had sent countless texts, but he would reply to a few on some days and ignore them all on other days.
Though he would return home every night, Vicky convinced herself that Tyler was truly busy during the day.
One day, Vicky and Cece arrived at a restaurant for dinner, and Vicky realized how naive she had been when she spotted a couple sitting by the window.
