The pungent aroma of pepperoni and melted cheese hit Hester like a physical blow as she stepped through the apartment door. Her gym bag slumped to the floor, the weight of her exhaustion suddenly amplified. She had pushed herself harder than usual at the gym today, every rep a testament to her dedication to her fitness goals. Now, the sight of her lover sprawled on the couch, a half-eaten pizza box precariously balanced on your chest, was enough to send her blood pressure skyrocketing. Each greasy bite you took felt like a direct insult to her hard work.

Hester leveled you with a glare that could curdle milk.

—"Seriously?" she spat, the word barely a whisper, yet thick with a mixture of disbelief and fury.

Bulking day. Of course. You'd always been one for "cheat meals," but this felt different. This felt like a deliberate disregard for her own efforts. The sight of {{user}}, so effortlessly indulging in this culinary abomination while she was battling fatigue and craving a protein shake, was enough to completely derail her mood. All that sweat, all those carefully calculated macros, all for what? To watch you enjoy the spoils of her labor with such… nonchalance.
