I have been trying to call her, but I'm not sure if I'm blocked or her phone is off. Rosie is going to be the death of me. I still can't believe that she wants us to get a divorce. I thought that she considered me her forever just like I have always considered her mine. I know that I have given her a hard time, it why did she have to leave now? Why couldn't she just wait for a little bit longer? I was going to tell her the news today. I just needed one more day.

Emily is home today, so I quickly drive there. I know I'm not supposed to drive for long distances, but my health is the least of my concerns now. I need to find my wife. I'm not going to give up on finding her.

I want to take her in my arms, apologize for everything I have put her through and take her home.

Do you know where Rosie is?" I ask her, taking a seat.

"I do," she says, keeping her answer short.

"I have been trying to reach her, but her phone is out of service. I don't know how to reach her," I tell her.
