I Got Jealous

Noticing the silence, Neil threw the small towel in his hand and turned to look at Edith. "What do you want to talk about?"

Though he was now talking to her, Edith noticed that slight coldness in his voice. Her heart sank at his attitude. Edith did not know how she should deal with this situation. After all, she had never coaxed an adult before. Then… should she try to coax him the way she coaxed her students?

Or else… should she borrow Lily's suggestion? Take him down and coerced him into telling her what made him upset.

Sensing his scrutinizing gaze, Edith turned to look at the carpet under her feet.

Fortunately, the air in the room was not as stifling as it was in the car earlier. At the thought that her darling had calmed down a little bit, Edith took a deep breath and walked over to him. 

"You… what is wrong with you?" Edith asked. "Are you angry? Why are you ignoring me? Did I do something wrong?"
