Aria sighed as she exited her office building. She was planning to make a nice dinner for Mark and she wanted to get home early to start preparing it. She checked her phone for the time and jumped in her car and headed back to the apartment that she shared with Mark.<br/>Once she got home she started to prepare the large Italian dish, "Mark is going to be so happy once he gets back, he loves Italian food!" She thought with a small smile forming on her lips. She hoped that the dinner would lighten Mark's mood and they would be able to try to spend some time together. He was always working and they only talked for a few minutes in the morning.<br/>She finally finished preparing the dish just as she heard Mark coming home and unlocking the door.<br/>'This is it...don't mess this up! You gotta try to make the best of your marriage!" She thought as she waited for him to unlock the door. "Welcome home" she smiled as Mark rushed inside and noticed the dinner sitting on the stove. He paused as he looked at it, rather contemplated.<br/>"What's all this?.." He asked, not looking very happy.<br/>"Oh...well I ugh....wanted to make you something special for dinner. You've been working so hard lately" she said with a shy expression on her face.<br/>Mark was quiet as he watched Aria. "We'll actually, I'm just coming home to grab some paperwork, I don't have time to eat. Could you wrap some up for me?" He said as he quickly rushed to their bedroom and put some papers in his suitcase.<br/><br/>Aria felt her heart sink as she watched him go to the other room. "Ugh.....sure" she said. She started to put some of the pasta in tepaware and packed it up for him. He returned quickly and took the pasta in his hands. He sighed and patted Aria on the head,"sorry..." He sighed as he quickly left the apartment.<br/><br/>Aria was left in the room alone and she sighed as she started to make herself a plate of the pasta. She barely ate any of it and just ended up playing with it with her fork as she sat at the table alone. "Just like every other night.." She sighed as she felt herself on the brink of tears.<br/>Her gaze met the ground and she saw a piece of paper on the floor. She picked it up and noticed that it seemed to be a work paper for Mark. "Oh crap, I hope he hasn't left the parking lot yet.." She said as she picked up the paper and started to rush out the door to try to catch Mark before he left.<br/><br/>She managed to get to the parking lot and noticed that Mark's car was still parked, but no one was in it. Confused, she looked around and finally spotted Mark....with another woman.<br/>'Huh? Is that someone he works with?'<br/>She suddenly dropped the paper as she witnessed the unspeakable. Mark started to kiss the girl he was with, a smile on their faces as they stopped and entered the taxi.<br/><br/>Aria suddenly felt her body trembling and she started to run. She didn't know here, but she just wanted to run away. She eventually came to the local park and stopped as she was finally out of breathe and she dropped to her knees. Tears started to stream down her cheeks as she started to cry. How could this happen? Was this why he really stayed late at work at night? She continued to cry as she felt more depressed than ever.
