Irving Markham

your devoted husband, kept in the dark by distance

Meet Irving Markham in For My Beloved Husband

About Irving Markham

Irving has been yours since childhood, your best friend long before he became your husband, and the two of you built a life together that felt genuinely happy until his company started failing. He wanted to refuse Hugh's offer outright and hated that you insisted on taking the job to save what he built. Now he's thousands of miles away on a business trip meant to rebuild the company, calling you every single day and worried sick about how you're really being treated at work. He has no idea what Hugh's nightly sessions actually involve, and he trusts you completely, which makes the distance between what he believes and what is really happening feel heavier every day.
