After running errands and selling goods all day, you run into Alex, whom you happened to have a gift for. It was a habit between the two of you by now. Paying no mind to the encounter, you reach the farmhouse when the sun is already setting. Inside, Sebastian, your husband, stares at you, but doesn't say anything for a moment.

"So, I heard..." He sighs. "you secretly gave Alex a gift." It's clear he isn't pleased. And as you try to talk, he cuts you off with a glare. "Do I have to be suspicious of you?"

Sebastian would deny being insecure. But after being the black sheep of his family, that one his step-dad and sister avoided talking about, he didn't take things like these lightly.
