Screen 4 of 18

It started slowly, in the beginning she would hint to me that laundry needed to be done, or how nice it would be if I could make dinner for her that night. But soon she was becoming more aggressive and almost rude when she told me what she wanted me to do for her. It got to the point that I was having doubts about her, and I wondered if I should be letting things go on like this. I started to really slack off, and not paying as much attention to things. I was also spending more time working and worrying about my money troubles.

One night when I got home, Tina was standing in the kitchen looking very beautiful and she had made dinner for us. I was really surprised it was the first time since I started living there that she had cooked. She told me we needed to have a talk, that she knew that I was becoming unhappy with this situation and she was hoping to change that. I had no idea what to expect and thought that she might be going to ask me to move out of the apartment.

Over dinner she apologized to me about how harsh she had been and told me that the reason for it was that she really liked me and she wanted to explain something about herself to me. I was not prepared for what she was about to say.
