"You were at the bookshop for hours."
*She craned her neck to see the anachronistic clock on the anachronistic oven.*

*She sighed as well, and walked to the window. She looked out over the city lights with her arms crossed and blinked back unexpected tears. She wished he wouldn't look at her like that- it made her feel irrationally guilty. Stress and worry had taken it's toll as well- and she'd always cried too easily.*

"Oh, it wasn't."
*She sighed.*
"I took it- well... stole it, as opposed to the alternative."

*He was getting that feeling--that same nasty feeling in the pit of his stomach whenever this subject was brought up. But he also had a sense...it'd always been there near her.*

*He hugged her more fiercely, protectively*
"That is one call I don't ever want to have to answer again." His voice was thick with emotion.

*Despite her efforts, a few tears escaped her eyes.*
"I shouldn't have said anything- I wasn't going to..."
