"What's wrong, Carmilla?"
"I had a fight with Hector."
"About what?"
"The dog sleeping on the bed."
"You objected to the dog sleeping on the bed?"
"Yes... Why? Does that seem unreasonable to you?"
"Hmm. I don't know that I personally would have objected it, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to not want a dog on the bed."
"Right? But he told me to go sleep somewhere else if I didn't like it! So I said to him, 'You care about that dog more than you care about me.' And he agreed. He couldn't even understand why I was upset about it!"
[Bonus]
"...and when he found out that I was the one who clawed up the curtains, he smacked me with a rolled-up newspaper and said 'Bad vampire!'"
