"Look at what you've caused," she whispered harshly.
"I didn't do anything. You were the one reading smut in the school library," he whispered back.
"It's a library and that's what it's for. Whatever I read is none of your business either," she said, walking away.
"Tell Alice you saw me and don't forget what I told you to tell her."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever."
"Remember. You promised you wouldn't forget."
"I don't promise you shit. I'll tell her. Now get off my back and stop bothering with whatever I'm reading."
"Okay," he said, raising up his hands in defeat. "Remember you said you won't forget."
"Darling, I'm home," Alice said in a sing-song voice.
"How was your day?" she asked him, rushing to give him a big hug.
"It was okay. I filed some files and did some research and all. You know, work stuff."
"You're back home early," Alice said suspiciously.
"Oh, it was a very free day. Nothing on my schedule today."
