It was only a week away Valentines Day and Sarah was not sure how her and her husband was going to spend the day together. She was kind of expecting that she would not have a job by then and they would just have the whole day together, since her loving husband Timothy was off for the day.

To Sarah's dismay, she had found a job and she was working that day. Its not a bad thing that Sarah found a job, because her and Timothy were struggling so badly with Timothy just working. Sarah just hoped that she would have had that day off instead of working at her new job.

Finally Valentines Day was here and Sarah didn't have to go to work for another few hours. She rolled over and reached out to touch her husbands arm, but he was not there. "What?"
