As soon as I yelled that out, I flopped down and buried myself under the covers.

I hadn’t acted that way for some time.

Deep down, I knew it was wrong to lash out at him. But I couldn’t help myself.

He lowered his voice and cajoled, “Don’t be mad at me. You can beat me up later after you feel better. Eat something, will you?”
