"Hermione," Severus started, but he didn't finish. Instead, he shook his head. "I have to go to work."
"Severus!" she exclaimed, ignoring her confusion and his uncharacteristic actions. "What the hell was that? You hurt me."
"I have to go to work," he repeated.
"You have to talk to me!"
"Maybe I don't want to listen to myself right now," Severus said mysteriously, turning away from her and heading towards the door.
"Damn you!" she practically screamed at her retreating husband's back.
He froze. "Hermione, after work." His voice sounded almost pleading.
"What the hell is going on?" she questioned.
