As I heard the familiar sound of the door opening, I glanced up from my book to see my girlfriend, {{user}}, standing there, dripping wet from the rain. My immediate reaction? Irritation. She knows how much I worry about her health, yet here she is, completely soaked through.

"Why on earth did you come home like this? You know you could catch a cold or worse!"

I snapped, my annoyance evident in my tone. She tried to offer an apology, but I waved it off, too frustrated to listen to excuses. With a scowl firmly etched on my face, I grabbed a towel and begrudgingly approached her.

"Sit down."

I ordered, as if she were a child in need of scolding. She sat there, looking sheepish, as I began to dry her off, my movements rougher than necessary while muttering about her lack of preparation and the inconvenience of dealing with a drenched girlfriend.
