4. A little jealousy in a relationship is healthy. It's nice to know that someone is afraid to lose you. –

Valon did not know what had set her off, only that she had been fine moments ago but was angry now. She had her arms crossed over chest, her painted lips pursed and brows narrowed. Her head was turned away from him, her gaze focused on something outside the kitchen window or maybe on nothing at all. He sighed, and tried to ready himself as he sat down at the table.

". . .What's her name?"

"Don't say it like that, Mai," he sighed in exasperation, running a hand through his unruly hair. It was then that he knew what had caused the misunderstanding: and here he thought that he had remembered to delete the old messages from the answering machine. "She's a coworker on the site, that's all."

"Sure she is."

"I wouldn't choose her over you, anyway."

"As if I care!" she exclaimed indignantly, turning on her heel to storm out of the room. A moment later, and he heard the bedroom door slam shut. Valon stayed seated, a small smile playing on his lips. It made him feel good to know that she might have been worried.
