Chapter 41: Failure

A couple of days had gone by. Both Stephen and Frances' lives had been staying the same. This bothered both of them for completely different reasons. He had been going through a mix of frustration and depression, due to feeling like he was stuck living a life he didn't want to live. Frances felt sadness due to him feeling this way, but also his refusal to take action.

"Stephen, you can't just keep living like this," said Frances. "Why aren't we coming up with another plan of some sort?"

"Quite it," said Stephen. "You know why we can't."

Frances sat up from her side of the bed, within their bedroom. "Stop fighting me on this. Our life together can't only be about me."

"It's not exactly our lives but our careers. You have yours locked in. Risking your own, to try and develop mine, is totally not worth it."

Frances curled up in frustration. "Damn you. Your focus on me is only hurting yourself."
