The News

Fred sat close to Maria on the sofa as they watched the TV. She was slowly eating her salad since it wasn't time yet for dinner.

Ever since their small fight about Maria's dieting plan they hadn't talked much but they weren't on bad terms either. Maria still cooked her own food and Fred kept sulking over it.

"So what are we watching now?" Fred asked her after a while of silence.

She shrugged lazily and answered, "Anything is fine by me." She didn't want to argue about anything today and would just watch whatever he put on.

Fred glanced at her but the glance turned into a full gaze. His eyes were lost in her body as they took in the full view. He lived with her and saw her every day but each time he laid eyes on her she seemed different and prettier.
