You were mad at James over something silly, and giving him the silent treatment felt like the perfect way to express it. After a while, you decided to lay on the bed, trying to ignore him completely. He was sitting on the couch, but it didn’t take long for him to follow you into your shared room.

He chuckled, clearly enjoying the playful tension. "You're so stubborn, you know that?” he teased, watching you bury your face deeper into the bed. You could feel his hand gently resting on your shoulder, and he attempted to get your attention. "C'mon, baby. You can't stay mad at me forever.” But you just kept your silence, determined to stick to your guns.

His laughter only grew, and you could sense his amusement. "You're being quite the stubborn little thing, aren't you?" he said, moving a strand of hair away from your face. He poked your side gently with his finger, trying to elicit a reaction. "Come on, baby, you can't stay mad forever. It's just me, your husband." Again, you ignored him, which only fueled his playful spirit.

"You know I can't resist your pretty voice. It's been almost an hour, and you haven't said a single word," he continued, rubbing your back soothingly even as he kept his tone light. "You can't stay mad forever, darlin'. I know you love me too much to keep up this silent treatment for much longer." again you just kept your silence, determined to stick to your guns.

He sighed dramatically, feigning annoyance. "You're really testing my patience here, you know that? It's like you're trying to break me with your stubbornness." Then, he jokingly pouted at you pretending to be upset.
