Two years have passed since my workplace romance led to marriage. Even after leaving the company, I've remained close with my former boss, Mr. Ozawa, and his wife, spending time together like one big family. One day, the four of us gathered for a hot pot dinner. Seeing how overwhelmed my husband was with work, Mr. Ozawa suggested a hot spring getaway for our next holiday. On the day of the trip, shortly after arriving at the inn, my husband had to rush back home alone due to an emergency at work. Heartbroken over his putting work before our marriage, I drowned my sorrows in alcohol—until Mr. Ozawa gently came to comfort me.
