Description: Ezra stresses out when a family gift breaks. It is all because of who it is from Jelall's Aunt Kathryn. She died from kidney failure last year.

     Jellal's  POV:

     I arrive home late from work.

    I notice Ezra fixed some delicious food for supper as usual.

     I cannot wait to eat it.

    I hear sobs coming from the study.

     I enter and hug her close.

     "Sweetheart, it is alright. We will get through this together, whatever it is."

      I notice the sobs got louder.

      "Ezra, what is the matter?"

       "Is it your sister?"

       I ask this because I know she and Ezra are not always on the best-speaking terms.

     Maybe this stressed her out more than she admits.

      "It is not about that dear."

       "Then, it can not be that bad can it?"

       "How can you say that Jellal?"

       "I am the worst wife ever."

       At her words, I shake my head. I do not get it.  Why is she so upset?

      Whatever gave her the idea she is a bad wife?  She is not. If anything she is the best.

         Between sobs, I hear her blurt out, "The thing I broke was the bowl your Aunt Kathryn gave us."

               "Dear, it is okay, I am sure we can find another dish. Now, calm down, and come join me before that tasty meal you fixed gets cold."

       I watch her stand up.  As she hugs me, she stops sobbing, looks up at me, and asks, "Are you sure you are not mad?"

          "Ezra, it is not like you cheated on me. So, let's go eat."

        I hear her laughter.  "You are right, dear, let's go eat."

  Until the next two-shot story,

   bye-bye, little owlets!

   Summer out!
