Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

Selina was up in arms, feeling betrayed. How could they have a big blowout without her? She cleared her feelings, voicing her protest and condemnation with a passion that could set the world on fire.

Fresh from a shower and sprawled on her bed, Leanne tuned into the group video call, listening to Selina's tirade.

"I was just down the road with my mom last night, literally a mile from you guys. A single call and I would've been there in five minutes!" she complained, her frustration palpable. "Good lord, I missed out on a jackpot!"

"Fine, let me give you a play-by-play. I'm no Meryl Streep, but I reckon I can recoup at least half of that for you."

Joy cleared her throat, launching into her one-woman show, leaving Leanne entertained.

Curtis emerged from the bathroom to find Leanne lying on her stomach, her waterfall of hair cascading over her shoulders, the light green of her nightgown making her skin glow.

Her legs dangled carelessly off the bed.

Approaching the bedside, Curtis caught her restless ankle, causing Leanne to turn her head, her movement to break free unsuccessful. Instead, he effortlessly pulled her closer.

She let out a surprised gasp, a soft sound drowned out as Curtis took the phone from her hand, ended the video call, and pulled her into his embrace "Babe, it's your turn to shine," Ever the dramatist, Joy had been embellishing the story, waiting for Leanne's cue, only to realize she was missing from the call. "Hey, where did you go?"

Having heard a different commotion, Selina lost interest in Joy's performance. "They've moved on to the R-rated part of the evening."

"And they left the call?" Joy pouted. "come on, I want to keep watching."

When Leanne broached the subject of taking annual leave with Donna and Amy, Donna shook her head, a seasoned expert in navigating such waters. "Trying to get time off from Ruben is like asking for his life on a platter."

Unsurprised, Leanne knew holidays were a luxury in their line of work, especially under a boss like Ruben, who prioritized his convenience over the staff's needs.

After mulling it over, she decided to confront Ruben upon his return to the office.

Ruben greeted her with a smile, which quickly faded once he realized the purpose of her visit.

"Leanne, you know how busy we are right now. You're a pillar of this department. Maybe wait longer and take your leave when it calms down?"

For the first time, Leanne realized her importance. "Even pillars need a rest to stand strong when it counts."

Unmoved by Ruben's resistance, she pressed on. "I'm planning to go on my honeymoon."

Ruben was stunned. "Aren't you married for years? Why plan a honeymoon now?"

"Long story," Leanne said. "You can catch up on the gossip in the group chat if interested."

Ruben pondered, wondering whether to approve or not.

Approving could set a precedent for everyone to request annual leave, putting work at a standstill.

But denying it might disrupt Curtis' honeymoon plans, potentially bringing trouble to Ruben's doorstep.

Clearing his throat, Ruben conceded, "This is indeed a special occasion. How about taking your leave at the end of the month? I'll throw in a few extra days for you."

His quick change of heart ensured Leanne's victory.

While stepping out of the office, a breeze from a slightly ajar window brushed her face. The early summer airlifted her spirits, her mood already soaring with anticipation.

Yet, with the month only beginning, the wait ahead felt endlessly long.
