All Night
The following day, Diana stirred from her sleep to find Roger sprawled out on the couch, utterly exhausted. He had sacrificed a night’s rest to wrestle with their future, his dedication evident in the tired lines on his face.
With a gentle touch, Diana roused him from his slumber, her heart swelling with affection as he blinked his eyes open. Despite the fatigue weighing heavy on him, Roger’s eyes sparkled with an unmistakable excitement.
Eagerly, he launched into the tale of his late-night revelations, the words tumbling out in a rush as he shared his discoveries with his beloved wife. In that moment, their shared journey toward a brighter future began, fueled by Roger’s determination and Diana’s unwavering support.

Child-Like
Roger’s grin widened into a broad smile as he motioned for Diana to join him. He could sense her hesitation, but with another tap on the seat, she relented and placed beside him.
Confusion clouded Diana’s expression as she glanced between her husband and the laptop. What was going on? But then, as her eyes landed on the screen, her breath caught in her throat. Could it be? Had Roger found a solution?
A gasp escaped her lips as she leaned closer, absorbing the information displayed before her. Excitement bubbled up inside her, mingled with a hint of disbelief. It seemed too good to be accurate, but hope blossomed within her heart as she studied the details.

Showing Her Everything
Diana settled beside Roger at the computer, watching intently as he scrolled through image after image of the impressive ships he’d discovered the night before. But when Roger glanced back at her, he noticed a change in her demeanor—a wistful smile tinged with sadness.
Concern etched lines on Roger’s face as he turned to his wife, puzzled by her sudden shift in mood. “What’s wrong, honey?” he inquired, his voice laced with concern. Diana’s lack of excitement caught him off guard.
With a sigh, Diana shook her head, her eyes reflecting mixed emotions. “It’s just…,” she began, her voice trailing off as she struggled to find the words to express her feelings.
