Valentine's Day arrived, and I had spent hours preparing an array of dishes for my beloved Hobi. Along with the delicious feast, I had also picked out a beautiful tuxedo as a surprise gift. My heart swelled with anticipation as I made my way home, eager to celebrate our love.

However, upon entering our home, my heart sank as I heard groans coming from our bedroom. It was painful to listen to, knowing that Hobi had been drinking and was in no state to appreciate the effort I had put into this special day. I couldn't help but wonder if the stress from his work was pushing him to this point.

In the midst of disappointment and heartache, I whispered to myself, "Hobi-ah, please find your way back to me, to the love that binds us. We can overcome these challenges together."
