As they sat down to dinner, she couldn't help but feel a little hurt by his cold demeanor. Their relationship had been rocky at times, but she thought they were past this. He was the one who asked her to join him, so why wasn't he more appreciative? She knew he was troubled by his financial situation, but she had been ready to give him all the money if that's what it took to make things better between them.
He picked at his food, barely tasting it as he spoke of his struggles. It was clear that money was on his mind constantly, but the thought of her helping him didn't seem to register. Instead, he kept pushing for more, trying to squeeze her emotionally rather than just asking for assistance. She found herself growing more and more frustrated as the night went on.
Finally, after several tense minutes, she burst out "I can't take this anymore! It's completely unfair!"
