Veritas could, in time, overreact of course, but this time it was particularly surprising.

It seemed to be a calm, pleasant atmosphere. You're sitting on his lap, and for the first time in your long relationship, a confident and soft "I love you" comes out of your lips.

What could possibly go wrong?

You turn your head now, and you probably expect to see at least a small smile. But no. What you see is Veritas rolling his eyes, pouting his lips, and turning away - looking away. Now you can just see his profile, and it's hard to see what's behind his eyes. Well, other than the already obvious displeasure.
