today i was given roses; short story

day five

today i was given roses.

there was nothing special about this day. i woke up with a broken nose and no clothes on my body. i barely remember what happened last night. but today i was given roses. he went out and bought me roses. his own money. he is very sorry and he didn't mean it. he couldn't mean it. we have children. he loves me.

he didn't mean it. none of it.
