When Edward greets his wife, Louise, at the airport with a playful sign, the last thing he expects is for her to turn pale and bolt. As Edward races to uncover why his joke struck such a nerve, he unravels a secret from Louise’s past that threatens to shatter the love they’ve built.
You know how some couples have their little quirks? Like, they have “their song” or a pet name that only makes sense to them? Well, Louise and I had our airport signs.
It started years ago. I was waiting for her at the terminal with a sign that said, “WELCOME HOME, MY LOVE” because I’m cheesy like that. She saw it, laughed, and the next time she had to travel for work, she asked if I’d make another sign. From then on, it became our thing.
Sometimes the signs were sweet, and other times they were completely ridiculous. Once, I held up one that said, “FREE HUGS FROM A DEVOTED HUSBAND,” and she nearly collapsed from laughing so hard.
But this time I thought I’d really outdo myself.
