The next day, L came back home very late and found her writing something at the table. L didn't have supper but went straight to sleep and fell asleep very fast because he was tired after an eventful day with Jane.

When L woke up, Allie was still there at the table writing. L just did not care so he turned over and was asleep again.

In the morning, Allie presented her divorce conditions: she didn't want anything from him, but needed a month's notice before the divorce. She requested that in that one month they both struggle to live as normal a life as possible. Her reasons were simple: their son had his exams in a month's time and she didn't want to disrupt him with their broken marriage.

This was agreeable to L. But she had something more, she asked L to recall how he had carried her into out bridal room on their wedding day.

She requested that every day for the month's duration L carry her out of our bedroom to the front door ever morning. L thought she was going crazy. Just to make their last days together bearable L accepted her odd request.

L told Jane about his wife's divorce conditions. . Jane laughed loudly and thought it was absurd. No matter what tricks Allie applies, she has to face the divorce, she said scornfully.

 Allie and L hadn't had any body contact since his divorce intention was explicitly expressed. So when L carried her out on the first day, they both appeared clumsy. Their son clapped behind them, daddy is holding mommy in his arms. His words brought L a sense of pain. From the bedroom to the sitting room, then to the door, L walked over ten meters with her in his arms. She closed her eyes and said softly; don't tell our son about the divorce. L nodded, feeling somewhat upset. L put her down outside the door. Allie went to wait for the bus to work. L drove alone to the office.

On the second day, both of them acted much more easily. She leaned on L's chest. L could smell the fragrance of Allie's blouse. L realized that he hadn't looked at this woman carefully for a long time. L realized she was not young any more. There were fine wrinkles on her face, her hair was graying! Their marriage had taken its toll on her. For a minute L wondered what he had done to her.

On the fourth day, when L lifted her up, he felt a sense of intimacy returning. This was the woman who had given ten years of her life to him.

On the fifth and sixth day, he realized that their sense of intimacy was growing again. L didn't tell Jane about this. It became easier to carry her as the month slipped by. Perhaps the everyday workout made him stronger.

Allie was choosing what to wear one morning. She tried on quite a few dresses but could not find a suitable one. Then she sighed, all my dresses have grown bigger. L suddenly realized that she had grown so thin, that was the reason why he could carry her more easily.

Suddenly it hits L ... she had buried so much pain and bitterness in her heart. Subconsciously L reached out and touched her head.

Their son came in at the moment and said, Dad, it's time to carry mom out. To him, seeing his father carrying his mother out had become an essential part of his life. Allie gestured to her son to come closer and hugged him tightly. L turned his face away because he was afraid he might change my mind at this last minute. L then held her in my arms, walking from the bedroom, through the sitting room, to the hallway. Her hand surrounded L's neck softly and naturally. L held her body tightly; it was just like our wedding day.

But her much lighter weight made me sad. On the last day, when L held her in his arms L could hardly move a step. Their son had gone to school. L held her tightly and said, I hadn't noticed that our life lacked intimacy.

L drove to office.... jumped out of the car swiftly without locking the door. He was afraid any delay would make me change my mind...L walked upstairs. Jane opened the door and L said to her, Sorry, Jane, I do not want the divorce anymore.

She looked at L, astonished, and then touched my forehead. Do you have a fever? She said. L moved her hand off his head. Sorry, Jane, I said, I won't divorce. My marriage life was boring probably because she and I didn't value the details of our lives, not because we didn't love each other anymore. Now I realize that since I carried her into my home on our wedding day I am supposed to hold her until death do us apart.

Jane seemed to suddenly wake up. She gave L a loud slap and then slammed the door and burst into tears. L walked downstairs and drove away.

At the floral shop on the way, L ordered a bouquet of flowers for his wife. The sales girl asked him  what to write on the card. L smiled and wrote, I'll carry you out every morning until death do us apart.

That evening L  arrived home, flowers in his hands, a smile on his face, he ran up stairs, only to find his wife in the bed - dead.

Allie had been fighting CANCER for months and he was so busy with Jane to even notice. She knew that she would die soon and she wanted to save L from the whatever negative reaction from their son, in case they push thru with the divorce.-- At least, in the eyes of their son--- I'm a loving husband...

The small details of your lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, property, the money in the bank. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves. So find time to be your spouse's friend and do those little things for each other that build intimacy. Do have a real happy marriage.
