Jealousy Gets the Best of Me

---

The week was one of the most frustrating and conflicting of Shuule's life so far. On one hand, she could not stand being stuck inside. There was so much that needed to be done, and schemed. If either were slightly older and wiser, Shuule and Anna would have demanded the males stop pestering them to stay locked away so they could at least see each other, but with so many unknowns, neither wanted to draw any unwanted attention to themselves. They were not looking to court any new spouses, Anna actively swearing off new men, fearful of everyone's intentions.

But on the other hand, Shuule had the opportunity to learn every inch of Ukko without interruption. Set had become less brooding, at least outwardly. He was always better when he had a goal, and right now, his singular focus was to make Shuule happy by saving the day - saving the dumb doctor.
