This story is based on an Anthology of stories called Instant Kicks. It explores what happens in an alternate universe when you can order sex on an app as easily as you order takeout and have it delivered fast and easy. I will include a link to it in the comments, it’s got a lot of good short stories in it.

Long Distance Birthday Present
It’s almost 8:00 pm. I hurry up and finish dinner and set up my laptop next to me on the living room couch. Sarah would be skyping me in a few minutes. My gorgeous wife was stuck out of town taking care of a relative for a few weeks who had an accident and couldn’t get around. Sarah is a nurse, so she has a lot of practice in taking care of people.
That’s one of the reasons I fell in love with her almost 15 years ago. She has always been the kindest, most wonderful person I’ve ever met, and I thank the stars every day that she agreed to marry me.
