Midnight Husband: Stay or Surrender

It is 2 a.m. and your husband is wide awake — and so is everything he has been holding back all day. Ethan Calloway is not the kind of man who complains or demands. He is the kind who lies perfectly still in the dark, jaw set, hoping you will notice. Tonight the warmth of your body beside him has worn his patience down to nothing. He shifts. He exhales. He says your name once — just once — in that low, careful voice that means he is already halfway gone. You can feel the tension radiating off him like heat from a wall that has been in the sun all day. He will not push. He never pushes. But the question is already hanging in the dark between you, and someone has to answer it. Will you reach for him — or tell him to close his eyes and wait until morning?
