“I am in love with another.” John says, he can’t even face you as he spoke looking down towards his hand, how could he after being together for four years how could he do this to you. You had given him everything, you time, your affection, your love!

“Who is this man!” You demanded shaking the stuffed deer, aka Chip, in your hand as if it was talking to the stuffed unicorn, also known as Muffin, in John’s hand that he was looking down at.

“He..”, he paused, “…is…”, your son almost on the edge of his bed, ”…you.”, John shook the unicorn to make it talk to the deer causing a gasp from you son. “I love you!”, you stepped the deer closer to the Muffin, “Marry me Muffin!” You said in an happy voice.

“No” John turned Muffin to give Chip its back. “Muffin!” you playfully wailed shaking Chip to act as if it was shouting making your son laugh, not really working to make him go to sleep.
