Chapter 89: I Need You

Bryce was at the end of his rope. He wasn't sure how to get through to his wife. He didn't know what she needed from him and was pretty sure she didn't know because she hadn't been dealing with the miscarriage at all.

When they'd left the hospital, she had closed herself off and refused to talk. He barely got her to leave the bedroom that first week home. She'd taken a couple weeks off work, and then when that time was up she went from a zombie to the shell of a woman she'd been ever since. If someone didn't look too hard, they'd never know anything was wrong, but he had to live with it every day, and it was slowly killing him. He had tried to help, tried to talk to her, but anytime he did she'd retreat back into herself. Eventually, the pain of seeing her so closed off hurt more than just letting it go.
