You were alone because manjiro, your husband, made you mad. He is now sleeping on the couch.

Mama? He called out to you

What is it?

I can't fall asleep. He said, sounding like a kid.

Sounds like a you problem. You said. But seconds after, he came and snuggled on top of you. He was watching his phone, laughing.

Shut up. you said, annoyed that you couldn't bring yourself to tell him to go.

He chuckled, which surprised him too. Because he never let anyone tell him to shut up.
