"I'm at my wits' end with you!"
Jeffrey paced the room with his upper body naked and hands on hips.
Karen looked for any chance to escape, but she was yanked back each time she tried to do so.
"Bro, it's half past three. Am I not getting any sleep?"
"Like I can sleep with all this going on?" he was so fumed that the idea of rest was far from his mind.
He had planned to finish his cigarette, curl up with her in bed, and after a good night's rest, lay everything out on the table for a heart-to-heart in the morning. But she had to spring a nasty surprise on him in the dead of night!
"If you're going to be up all night, don't drag me into it," Karen said, rubbing her eyes and yawning. "I'm not kidding, I'm seriously tired!"
Seeing her trying to leave again, Jeffrey grabbed the clothes from her hands and, without warning, tossed them into the bathtub and turned the tap on!
Karen was dumbfounded, "What the hell's wrong with you? I need to wear those!"
"We're both beat, and I'm not having this talk now. Hit the hay, and we'll sort it out once we're up," Jeffrey said, feeling a heartache from all the frustration.
But his mind was so blocked with things he wanted to say and do, he couldn't get it out. Sleep came first.
"I won’t stay. I need to go back." Even without her soaked clothes, she still had her robe and more clothes in her luggage back in her room.
Grinding his teeth, Jeffrey snapped, "Say one more word, and neither of us is sleeping. I'll keep you up until you can't even get out of bed!"
"You wouldn't dare! If I don't consent, it's illegal!"
"Try me and see if I dare!" As he stepped closer, his tall frame cast a shadow over her, which was an imposing presence she couldn't ignore.
Karen thought she’d better be supple, "How about this, Jeffrey? I'll go back and sleep, and I'll come find you once I'm awake. You wait for me here, okay?"
