Mark saw this and he felt guilty. Lawrence left the house so that Andrea would feel better. Mark carried Andrea to the couch as he felt guilty for what had happened and he look at the ground. Mark said "I guess you will always be afraid of dogs." He went to shut the door and locked it. Mark felt worthless and he decided not to do anything that involved a dog. (Sorry it's short.)

"Mark, I'm sorry. I just need a little bit of time though. I can't get over my fear within a day though. It's not your fault, it's mine. I'm sorry," Andrea explained as she felt bad that she made Mark feel guilty. She didn't want to be afraid of dogs anymore, but she knew she needed some time. Andrea kissed his cheek softly and then went upstairs to sleep. Andrea laid on her side of the bed and faced the wall as she knew Mark was upset with her for still being afraid of dogs.

Mark said "it's okay." He was staying downstairs as he was not sure what he could do to help her with her fear. Mark was getting depressed as he knew that he would never be able to help her. Mark was not sure what was going to happen next and he was feeling horrible. Mark was not wanting to cause any problems as he was feeling angry at himself. Mark was looking at the coffee table and he was not sure what was going to do happen next.

Andrea was upstairs in their room in bed as she was tired, but she was staying awake as she couldn't go to sleep with Mark by her side. However, she knew he was upset with her for not getting over her fear of dogs and making him feel worthless because of it. Sky was sleeping in her crib and so that made Andrea feel a little better knowing she was feeling calm and relaxed. Andrea had tears falling down her face as she felt super guilty about what happened and just wanted things to go back to normal.

Mark went into the guest bedroom as he was going to sleep downstairs so that Andrea did not have to see him. Mark laid down on the bed as he decided that he was not helpful at all when it came to helping people with their fears. Mark began to cry as he still felt worthless and he decided not to help anymore with anyone's fear. Mark was also thinking about just staying inside the guest bedroom so that Andrea could have time to herself. Mark felt heartbroken.

Andrea was lying there when she heard Mark go into the guest bedroom and start to cry. She sighed as she felt bad and got up with her blanket and walked into the guest bedroom. Andrea sat down on the bed with her blanket wrapped around her and began to rub his back to help make him feel a little better. Andrea didn't say anything because she wanted him to talk to her on his own time, but she wanted him to know that she was always there for him.

Mark felt Andrea and he said "I am a horrible husband. I can't do anything right." He was not wanting to face her as he felt so guilty about what happened. Mark said "I decided just to wait to help people with their fears or maybe just stop helping since all I do is make everything worse than what it is." Mark's eyes were red from crying. Mark felt sad as he did feel worthless now. (Sorry it's short.)

"You are not a horrible husband at all. I just needed some more time to help get over my fear. We can try again tomorrow though. I'm ready to try again. I'm sorry that I made you feel like that. You're always so good with helping me and other people. Sometimes, things just take a little longer to recover from," Andrea explained as she wanted him to know that none of it was his fault and that she just needed a little more time. Andrea continued to rub his back as she looked at him, unsure of what he was going to say or do.

Mark shook his head as no and he said "I don't think Lawrence can come back here tomorrow. He has a family and I don't want him stressing out." He was giving up on himself since he still felt like a worthless husband who could never do anything right. Mark sighed as he said "I have to understand that and not rush anything. Maybe its for the best that I give up on doing the right thing since I always mess it up." Mark had tears rolling down his face as he felt sad.

"I understand," Andrea said as she got up. "I will be back," Andrea said as she went back into her room and got dressed. Andrea grabbed her clutch purse and left the house to do something. She went to the nearest service dog center and got a service dog for Mark's anxiety. Andrea got him his favorite breed of dog and was shaking a little as she picked up the dog and put him in the car, but calmed right down as she drove him home with his vest and leash. Andrea parked the car back at the house and brought the dog inside and locked the door behind her. Then she went upstairs with the dog in her arms and went into the guest bedroom. "I got a gift for you," Andrea said as the dog didn't make any noise to spoil the surprise since the dog was only trained to bark when signalling about a panic attack. Andrea looked at Mark as she was not sure what he was going to say about her gift to him.
