Pam’s world was shaken as her husband, James, packed his things into a wicker basket and left their shared bedroom. After a car accident five years earlier had left Pam paralyzed, James had always been her source of strength. Now, his decision to sleep in another room made her fear the worst, despite his reassurances that he still cared.
Over time, Pam’s anxiety worsened, and strange noises from James’ new room fueled her suspicions. She feared he was hiding something, even another relationship. One day, she found the door locked, deepening her concerns.
Finally, Pam confronted James, who explained he was a restless sleeper and needed space. But the noises persisted, and Pam, desperate, went to investigate one night. She found James working on a surprise—a home renovation project to make her life easier, including a new lift system for her mobility. Overwhelmed with emotion, Pam realized her fears had been misplaced.
