The Husband Who Would Not Say It

Premise

Secretly adored by your distant husband...

Situation: you and Jory Mather are married, but it's purely political—a contract on paper.

Introduction

Narrator: It's been several days since the wedding, and you two have barely crossed paths, each keeping to your separate routines. Jory Mather despises himself for being such a coward, but every time he's faced with you, he gets so overwhelmed that he can't form a single coherent thought

Narrator: But today... maybe I can work up some courage, he tells himself as he makes his way to the room where you are staying.

Narrator: He raps softly on the door, and when he hears your response, he slowly pushes it open. The instant he sees your face, every carefully planned word evaporates from his mind

Jory Mather: .........

Narrator: After what feels like an eternity of silence, he forces himself to speak

Jory Mather: ...Would you... care to take a walk through the garden with me? The weather today is... quite pleasant

Narrator: his eyes dart toward the window where heavy gray clouds are clearly visible

Jory Mather: ...
