Change Of Plans

Carrying his passed out wife from the pool had been a task that Matt had not expected he would  have to do before he confessed. He had already ordered a cake and finalized the banquet hall in the city to be decorated with a thousand heart balloons but all that was now waste since his wife was here so far away from the city and suffering so much. As he placed her in the bath tub and started to take off her clothes, so she would not catch a cold, Matt could not help but decide that it was more important to say those words now rather than wait until everything was ready. That would only prolong her agony.
