How far would Charlie pamper Miranda? Well, take this trip for example.
When Miranda was sent to an off-campus location for her sophomore-year fieldwork by the college, he worried she could not adjust to the accommodations of that place. So, he bought the most expensive, last-minute ticket to fly over there to remodel and clean her dorm.
Before that, he was already fretting about her meals and sleep schedule. He was so distraught that he postponed accompanying me to my prenatal check-up.
The irony was that when he was bending over backward for her, I was lying in a hospital because I miscarried our baby after tripping over an electric scooter on the way to have prenatal checkups alone.
Despite being the father of my child, Charlie ignored all the messages I had sent to him and he even refused to answer my phone calls.
I stayed in the hospital for three days. During that time, not once had he ever contacted me. Only when I was on the way home, he finally called me.
"Where are you? Why aren’t you home? Pick up some chili peppers on your way back and be hurry about it," he said.
I parted my dry lips to respond, "Are you coming back?"
All I got was the sound of the call being ended.
