Tayler Sherwood lit a cigarette and glanced at her watch. She had been wondering if 10 minutes was late enough to fight about. Taylor believes that she is in a healthy relationship with Shane, whom she's been dating since she graduated high school two years ago. At that moment, Shane walks up hurriedly. He apologizes for being late and kisses his girlfriend on the cheek before taking a seat at the table.
Conversation survives a mere seven minutes before the sniping begins.
Suddenly, his tardiness becomes an issue as well as the fact that he failed to kiss her on the mouth when he greeted her. Then she's wearing too much make-up and provoking other guys to look at her. Then he thinks she looks cheap. Then she's being too sensitive. Then he doesn't love her enough.
