Hermione turned to the door with she heard Severus enter the kitchen, but she turned away quickly without greeting him.
"I see you cleaned," Severus said casually behind her.
"I didn't go to work today, what else was I suppose to do? Unlike some people I actually came home." Her words carried an angry edge, and she didn't try to remove it.
"I was just thinking all day. Can barely remember what I did," he said dismissivedly.
"That's good."
"Hermione, look, about the nightmares," he gave in.
"I don't want to talk about them," she said, swinging around. She wasn't shocked to see he was calm.
