A little bit more, adding to the end of before feedback?
Amazingly, I spent the next hour or two, civilly talking to Ej, telling the endless stories of how our kids were doing. He asked about my husband, which was pretty awkward, but I went on about how incredible he was with them, and how they looked at him as a father. I don’t think he liked that too much, he did that stupid pout of his and folded his arms. He then got up, and walked out of the pub. That was that.

Later that night
Sitting at the dinner table tonight, my husband, Rafe sits a crossed from me. He sat silently, looking at me, trying to read me maybe. He liked to believe he was good at it, being a former FBI agent and all. I didn’t believe it though, it made me laugh.
“How was work today?” I asked, setting the fork down on the empty plate. He didn’t answer, but continued to look at me. He hadn’t touched his dinner.
“Whats bothering you?” He finally asked, “Something is wrong, I can see it in your eyes.” He tilted he’s handsome head at me. I waited for a smile to cross his face, as if he was joking, but it never came.
“What?” I looked down, then back up at him, “Nothing, I’m fine.” I lied.
“Come on Sami, I know better then that.” He gave me that look, when he knew I was lying. (I get that look a lot)
“Seriously, nothing is wrong, plus, you ignored my question!” I diverted our conversation back to him, not that he would give up on me, he never would. He gave me that look again then sighed.
“Work was fine, now what happened today?” He folded his muscular arms. I had to tell him about my encounter with Ej earlier that day, I just really didn’t want to. Anything about Ej just made Rafe want to go off the deep end, actually, anything about any DiMera did that to him. They put us through a living hell, literally, and not just once.
I sighed, then opened my mouth the speak, “I saw Ej today.” I said quietly, and quickly, brushing the blonde curls out of my face.
“You did? He didn’t bother you did he? That son of a *****.” His voice changed, it got higher, and angrier.
“No, no.” I said quickly, to calm him. “He just wanted to know how the kids were doing.” I nodded, folding my arms too, watching his reaction. I had hoped the tension in his face would calm.
“Like he would care, not that it’s any of his business anyway.” The annoyance in Rafe’s voice was obvious.
“Rafe, it is his business they are his kids, and you know he cares about them.” I almost felt horrible for defending him, “You know he loves them more then anything.”
I was hoping that Rafe would get over it, and we would end this disagreement soon. But it was clear he was unhappy with Ej approaching me, without Rafe around. I understood that, but I feel like he is overreacting. Ej has been acting differently lately, he has been.... almost genuine and caring. Maybe he was plotting something, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was, honestly. Why can’t the DiMera’s just move out of town?
