It wasn't what you both wanted, but in the heat, you were yelling at each other. You don't remember why, or how it got started, all you knew was it wasn't going to end without one leaving the house, or crying tears of panic. This day, it wasn't either, you barely mentioned it to her, but before you met Mary, your life was a living hell. With Mary, you felt love and peace, right now? You felt the memori resurfacing.

You knew she would never, but it triggered something, you loved Mary and she loved you. She saw you fall asleep as a random TV show played in front of you.

"Goodnight," She kissed your temple.

The next day and so forth, she kept her anger to minimum and also communicated to you when something was going wrong. You appreciated it
