Fabian has been really busy lately. I hardly see him now without his nose stuck to the company laptop. He does not join our usual circle for lunch anymore (he only takes quick 10min ones) and mahjong nights at our house has stopped. All this because he took up some new work and had to work extra hard - meetings, meetings, meetings and then spends his time at home doing some more work. It really got to me at the beginning since even though he's at home, he's barely thinking of anything else besides the report that's due last week or the contractor's meet the week after. Makes me sad sometimes and even lonely.

But each time I call him for dinner or walks by, he'd look up and smile. And once when I was upset over the looooonnngg working hours, I asked him why he had to give up all our personal time for work. And he said,

"So I can give you a better life"

What else can I say to that ??!
