Jealousy (2)
"You can't possibly be referring to the charm I have given Caleb? You aren't, right?" Alessandra questioned, expecting Edgar to say no.
"You should be proud of yourself, my sweet wife. You unlocked a new emotion in your dear husband. Jealousy. I have to say it ties in well with anger," Edgar walked by Alessandra as he spoke. "Such a dangerous emotion."
"Wait, you mean to tell me that you have never experienced jealousy?" Alessandra found that hard to believe. She was not excluded from feeling jealous. She felt it many times in regard to the way her father treated Kate. She was even jealous of the birds being able to fly away while she remained trapped.
