Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Betty's first moment of discontent towards Curtis happened when she was just a year old.

Leanne and Curtis took her to the clinic for her pneumococcal vaccination, a shot dreaded by children and parents alike.

As the months passed and Betty became more aware, she started to understand that the sharp needle meant pain. To her, the nurse wielding the syringe seemed like a terrifying monster. At the sight, Betty instinctively reached out for Curtis, seeking protection in her father's arms.

Leanne cradled her, whispering sweet nothings until Betty's sobs subsided. Her big, tearful eyes made her look utterly pitiful.

Trying to make amends, Curtis reached out to take her, but she promptly turned her face away, clinging tightly to Leanne as if her little life depended on it. Her entire being radiated resistance.
