She looked at herself in the mirror for the final time. Her blues eyes stared back at her. Her blonde curls fell around her and down her back. She looked fine. With a final nod, she smoothed down her black dress. The door bell rang.
'Just in time' she thought looking at the clock on the wall.
Every night, her husband came home at eight-thirty. She hurried to the door. She opened it with a sweet smile. "Hi, Rena" He said quietly. "Hi" she replied, moving out of the way for him to enter. She watched him walk in. He was a tall man about 6'4, long, wavy chestnut brown hair, and a great build. She closed the door and locked it.
"What's for dinner?" he asked tossing his coat and keys on the couch.
She followed him, entering the living room.
"Well, my parents invited us to dinner tonight. We're supposed to meet them at that new café tonight. You know the one called the Asian Café?" She said sitting down.
Nephlite Brights, her husband, stared blankly at her. His brown eyes showing nothing.
"I'm not going." He simply stated.
"Excuse me?" She said staring back at him.
"I said I'm not going. Matter-of –fact, I thought I told you this morning I didn't want to go anywhere tonight." He said sharply.
He left for their bedroom, not saying another word. She stared angrily after her husband. She got up and followed him, her anger flaring now.
"You know what? You never want to do anything with me anymore." She said angrily standing in the door way.
Nephlite took his tie off and sighed. "Serena, don't start tonight. I really don't have time for this. Look, I'm not even hungry. I have to pack for Australia tonight and make a few phone calls." He said tiredly rolling his eyes.
He was becoming to hate having to deal with her nagging. He sat on the bed for a moment to take his shoes off.
"What? Again? You didn't tell me this early this week?" She exclaimed in bewilderment.
He did many of his business deals over in Australia every few months and he never told her when he was going. It was becoming to be a pain especially when she was never permitted to go with him.
"What's it to you? You aren't going anyway." He said annoyed with her rant.
He went to their walk in closet and pulled out to of his suitcases.
"I'm going" She said bluntly going into the closet and grabbed her two. "You aren't going anywhere." He said firmly. "I bet I do. Why do you hate me so? Why did you marry me in the first place if you don't ever want to do things with me?" She asked quietly.
He sighed and sat down on the floor. He hated these kind of nights when they did nothing but argue. Serena always ended up with her feelings hurt. "Come here." He commanded, his eyes softening slightly. He held his hand out to her and she took it.. He pulled her into his lap and held her. He heard her sniffle and felt her tears hit his shirt. She was crying.
"Look, I'm sorry I came home and took my anger out on you. I had a rough day, that's all." He said softly.
She wrapped her arms around his waist and looked up at him. "Can I come? I hate not being with you." She said meekly.
"If it makes you happy, I guess" He said giving in.
