We didn't speak for a whole week after that. I didn't text her once.
But yesterday, Iris had finally reached out to break the ice. She took the initiative to send me a message to break the ice. She texted: [Let's hit up the car show tomorrow. I'll drive.]
I'd been pulling extra shifts and hustling on the side for months, all to save up for this car show.
Iris was usually too proud to make the first move. Her texting me was her way of making peace.
Usually, after every fight, she'd stay mad for ages until I apologized and made up for it with gifts or money. Only then would she even glance my way.
Once we made up, I'd be over the moon, forgetting all the bad stuff.
Little did I know, she had been calling me a simp to her friends behind my back.
Still, I'd happily go out of my way to please her. After all, she was my wife.
Anyway, Iris always messed around with Gavin. One day, I felt tired of pleasing her.
Now, Iris suggesting we go to the car show together didn't even excite me. It kinda annoyed me.
Still, since it was the first time Iris suggested something herself, I coolly texted back: [Okay, see you tomorrow.]
