CURIOSITY CAN KILL A CAT

Yden went out of the bathroom, ready for bed. She had decided not to sleep with John in bed. Anyway, she had already prepared cardboard and a comforter to lay on the floor and use as her mat. 

However, when she was ready to use it, she couldn't find it. She paced around the room, peeking over corners to corners, and John noticed her. 

"What are you looking for? If it was the cardboard you brought home,  I threw it away. I don't want you bringing garbage inside again." John reprimanded. 

Yden took a deep breath, trying to compose herself, 'Is he trying to retaliate at me because I didn't eat the dinner he prepared?' She thought. 

"I just brought it here because I was supposed to use it as a mat," as calmly as she could, she replied.

John nodded but then said, "Why need a mat when the bed is big enough for two people?

Right there and then, Yden got John's true intention for throwing the cardboard.
