Night Abuse

Anyone that is in a relationship knows what night abuse is. Some mornings you wake up and notice a small but visible scratch across you're arm or face. Neither one of you knows where the scratch came from. Whoever has the scratch immediately assumes it was the other person.

You really have to wonder what is happening during the night. Could they maybe have done it on purpose? Some kind of passive aggressive act to get back at you for who knows what? So you jokingly accuse them of doing it. Of course you're only half joking to gage their response. They may seem completely innocent but there is always a nagging feeling that there's something more vicious behind those smiling eyes...
