Things had been tense lately (and that was probably under exaggerating it). A day hadn't gone by in weeks where you and Dorian hadn't argued about something. It didn't matter how pointless or stupid it was. The two of you would argue until interrupted.

It was unexplainable.

Being with Dorian used to make you happy. He used to be the highlight of your day. And now, you avoided him as if he was the damn plague. But, you could only avoid him for so long.

As soon as you had entered the chambers that you shared with Dorian, you'd spotted him. It hadn't taken long for the two of you to find something to bicker about. Within minutes, things had grown more heated than usual.

"I don't even know why I married you in the first place!" Dorian snapped. It wasn't often that he lost his temper like this. He was usually much more calm and docile.
