《What Are You Waiting For》Loved or Loves?

'JJ please come home.' I've sent twenty messages in total. Still no reply. 24:58 have passed since i sent the first message. Yup, she's not replying anytime soon.
"Daddy?" that's the third time Henry has called me that. I don't know why he's calling me that. He knows I'm not his real dad and I've asked him why he's doing it but he just changes the subject. Just like JJ would do if she was uncomfortable.
"Yeah," I respond blankly.
"Why don't you call her?" He suggests.
"I've tried bud. Maybe she just needs some cool off time."
"Can I try?" He asks looking up from his fingers which he hasn't stopped playing with since JJ left.
"Sure. Here." I say handing him the phone and putting it on speaker.
Five rings later Emily answers.
"Hello," she answers with a very modest tone in her voice.
"Hi Aunty Em." He answers with a sad tone in his voice which chips away a little bit more of my heart.
"Hi buddy. Where's Uncle Spencer?"
"Daddy is wight here." he says handing me back my phone.
"Hello?" I ask already knowing what's coming next. Turning it off of speaker I ask her to continue.
"What the hell were you thinking? Cheating on JJ like that. You probably don't even care that she loves you. Sorry let me correct myself loved." When she says that last part it makes me break down in tears. Loved. Loved. She doesn't love you anymore.She doesn't love you anymore. My brain keeps repeating that sentence over and over and over again in my head.
"Will you just tell her I'm sorry and I miss her and I still love her and that Henry is missing her and crying and I'm crying. Tell her I'm crying. I'm crying because I love her. I need her. I miss her. My brain can't think without her. I can't go one more second without her. She needs to come home now. I want her to come home now. Henry wants her to come home now." By the time my heart had said everything it could I was in tears and Henry was too.

"Loves."
"What?" I ask with a shaky breath.
"She still loves you." she repeats.
"I need her to say it so I can believe it." I say hoping it's not a lie.
"I still love you," my other half says.
"Do you really?" I ask hopefully.
"I'll be home soon." And the line goes dead.

Mycology
Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. To join or not to join? Well, why the hell not? Hello, this is a pretty basic VR story which I started writing out of boredom, don't expect anything too great here, it's a somewhat unique setting but with mostly slice of life comedy shenanigans with no real 'plot' since I can't reliably include stakes in a world where respawning is a thing. I'll try to upload at least once every other week but real life stuff may get in the way occasionally. **WARNING** Protagonist comes with an inbuilt wizard hat. Also, any mentions of chapter titles shall be met with falling rocks TPK. **ACTUAL WARNING** Story may or may not read like the fever dream of an eclectic sasquatch with internet connection. Do be warned, that this story has extremely slow pacing by design. Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/p2gxqs4 Laugh at my empty Patreon!!
