In Love, Never Say Never

Knowing that he was fuming on the inside, I did not make him angrier anymore. When I returned to the bedroom, he was not around, and I was sure he must have gone to the study.

I then went to wash up in the bathroom. It had anti-slip tiles, so I usually took off my house slippers when I went in.

“I sprained my ankle.”

“So you know it hurts?” he snarled. “Do you use your eyes to breathe?”

Pouting, I whispered, “How am I to know that the floor is so slippery. Who in their right mind would want to fall?”

He gave me a taunting look. “Who can you blame if you were the one to not watch where you were going?” After a pause, he continued, “What were you about to do?”

“Shower!” Why does he have such a terrible temper?
