Jess wasn’t proud of what she was about to do.
Okay, maybe she was. A little.
She shouldn’t be proud
Oh come on LOOSEN up
chill
she’s proud she got away with that
Kai should have kept the candy in his other hand - away from jess’ side

But in her defense, Kai started it.
He did nothing
HE ATE IT IN FRONT OF HER

and Kai had the audacity to pace himself
It’s completely normal to pace himself.
Not everybody wants to eat the whole thing in just a minute.
NO IT ISN’T
he should have finished it faster

like he had all the time in the world
Well he should have plenty of time to eat his candy bar
HE DOESN’T
HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME
he has the hour and a half it takes for them to get to their hotel

like he wasn’t married to someone who’d been running on fumes and breastfeeding cravings for weeks.
She could’ve gotten herself more than just the one if she needed it
WELL
she didn’t know she needed it
he should know her well enough to buy an extra one

Jess licked her lips, her gaze dropping to his hands as he tore off another tiny square.
Who even eats chocolate like that?
Plenty of people
Its not his fault Jess can’t control herself
Noooo
name one that’s not himself

“You know,” she started casually, “you don’t even like chocolate that much.”
Kai didn’t even look at her. “I like this one.”
Jess made a dramatic sound of disbelief, leaning closer. “Then why didn’t you just share yours with me?”
He should’ve known then what she would do…
he really should have
he’s been married to her long enough

It’s the same quantity of chocolate whether she eats it in 3 minutes or in 10. There’s no need to rush. She’s not starving to death.
SHE IS
That’s just plain rude that he doesn’t think she is

If it’s a matter of needing the food to feed a child with her body, there’s other things she could’ve eaten, or she could’ve just gotten herself more chocolate. She doesn’t need his too. Or is she thinking he shouldn’t be allowed to have as much?
she needs his
you can’t just flaunt it in her face like that

“You don’t need my chocolate for that.”
There were so many options. It didn’t have to be his
LIKE WHAT?
huh?

Jess shrugged, licking her lips for dramatic effect. “You can have the half I didn’t eat.”
But the whole thing was supposed to be his.
She got a chocolate bar, and he got a chocolate bar.
It wasn’t supposed to be her getting 1.5 chocolate bars and him only getting a half.
BUUUT she wanted it
Clearly their marriage isn’t equal
he needs to understand the power dynamic

“Oh my God, relax. I’ll buy you four more. You big baby.”
Kai’s eyes narrowed. “You owe me four more.”
He doesn’t necessarily eat much candy, but that one was his
Omg GET OVER IT YOU BIG BABY KAI

The jar of melted chocolate sitting next to her on the nightstand.
Oh jess
Hey she said she’d get him chocolate

“Then maybe you should do something about it.”
And just like that, the towel hit the floor.
There was simply one single option at that point
There was more than one option
juuuuust like there was more than one option than eating his chocolate
he didn’t HAVE to drop his towel
and get her pregnant

By the time they finally collapsed against each other, Jess was flushed, breathless, and thoroughly forgiven.
Very thoroughly forgiven
good
did he get the chocolate intake he wanted
err
at least one pun in there

And as Jess let her head fall against his shoulder, she decided that she’d probably steal his chocolate again.
Eventually.
And he expects it
good
glad he knows
