Today was the day Jess was meeting with his publisher and he was so
nervous. When he arrived at the building, an elderly man came out to meet
him.
"Well, hello! I'm guessing that you are Mr. Mariano? Am I right?"
"Yeah that's me." Maybe this was going to go better than he thought. The man he thought he was going to meet was a mean old hag who had been in the business too long and had a stick up his rear, so this was definitely a pleasant surprise.
"Where's your lovely wife that I've seen on the news every night?"
"Oh....she had to go somewhere for the news station."
"Oh! How delightful!" *delightful? Where's this guy from?* Jess thought.
"I'm really sorry, I heard that you wanted to meet her and have her give that review on my book-"
"Well yes, that would have been nice, but...I'll tell ya what I'll do. Why don't I just meet with YOU now and just have her write a review for me later and then fax it to me."
"Really?"
"Yes, sir."
"Oh thank you so much!" They shook hands and walked into the building.

5 HOURS LATER
Rory walked into the apartment and flung herself on the couch. "Jess!?!" There was no answer. "Jess!" She stood up and started wandering around the apartment. "Jess, are you home?" Just then the door opened and Jess walked through the door. No happiness even appeared on his face at the fact that his wife was home. "JESS! Oh my goodness I missed you so much!" She started to run to him but he pulled out and gun and aimed for her. "Jess....what are you doing..."
"I'm sick of this Rory! You're constantly gone and when I need you the most, you're not here! I thought you loved me." He pulled the trigger and she fell to the floor, blood everywhere. She looked up into his eyes, tears streaming down her face.
"Jess....how could you do this....." She whispered.....
Her eyes snapped open...it was only a dream. She realized she was still laying on the couch, she slowly got up and walked around the apartment. The door opened and she whipped around. It was Jess, just like she had suspected. She started shaking....her dream was real. "Jess....." She cringed. He just stared at her. She started crying for fear that he was angry with her and that he would kill her like he had in her dream. When he saw she was crying he ran over to her, but she backed away quickly. "Get away from me!" He backed up.
"What's wrong...Rory, what happened..." His voice was so full of concern...it surprised her...
"I thought...you...I had this dream that you were so mad at me for leaving again that you..you..." She started to break down again, and Jess just hugged her...
"I'm not mad, I was just surprised to see you...I didn't think you were getting back until later....but what happened...what did I do to you..."
"You....you...you shot me..."
"Rory...you know I would never hurt you....come here." He pulled her even closer to his body. He couldn't even comprehend the fact of him ever hurting her.
THE NEXT MORNING
When Rory got up, Jess was fixing breakfast. "Hey....sorry about...last night..."
"It's fine...but you know...I would never hurt you..."
"I know...but it was just a dream."
"Hey guess what. My publisher said that you could review on my book and then fax it to him! Isn't that great? He's an awesome guy. You should meet...him...what's wrong?" Rory had a weird look on her face.
"Jess....I umm...with all my trips and stuff...I kind of....didn't read it..." Jess's heart fell to the pit of his stomach.
"Oh..." Was all he could get out. "Any of it?"
"No...I'm really really sorry! Please don't be mad!"
"Rory....I've been working on this book for a long time...it was very important to me...and you....you blew it off!" His temper was in fact getting the best of him.
"Jess...I said I was sorry..." He slammed down the spatula he had been holding. "Ummm....I got a call this morning...I have to go to New York tomorrow..."
"Rory! You just got home! How could you do this!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Stop it, Rory!"
"Stop what?"
"Stop saying 'I'm sorry'! It's getting old! I'm goin out. I'll see ya later."
"Fine...but if I don't see you before I leave....I love you and I'll see you next week...." He slammed the door in her face. *how could she do this.*
