Claire had been seriously concerned for her fiance ever since their return from the island. No amount of gentle coaxing could pull him away from his work. It was beginning to irritate all of his co-workers, and, crazily enough, their once-healthy sex life. This morning as Claire was coming back in from a jog, she saw Chris wrestling his dog for some meat that had been left on the counter. He was tired and in pain, and Claire had just about had it. Her temper boiling, she stormed into the kitchen and gave a mighty shout, and the dog, let go, ears flat in shame. She ordered the dog out, having established a bond with the furball while Chris was locked in his office.
"Are you alright?" she asked, stepping closer, seeing his tired body dragging. That was it, She was definitely restricting the amount of manuscripts he could handle from now on. How he was getting around her in the first place was beyond her. She needed to look into it. Still, yelling at the dog hadn't relieved her rage, and thinking about how he'd broken his promise to her to cut down on his work was driving her crazy. She was going to let him have it today.
