-14 o'clock! Time for my tea break.
-Tea? Again? Are you having the London syndrome or something?
-Hey, my green tea won't drink itself, you know!
-I woke up in the middle of the night from strange noises in the living room. I looked to my right, but my husband wasn't in bed. So I got up, and very quietly sneaked out, and into the living room.
There, in the candle light, he was sitting. All alone. Drinking his damn Earl Gray! Boohoohoo...
-Enough, don't worry, honey, your husband is in good hands now.
