✘There's a first time for everything.
There were many things in their relationship that Darren always admired, and one of them was their communication. They always understood each other very well, were always in perfect sync, and shared almost the same opinions. When, by chance, they disagreed, a simple conversation would resolve everything. They had never argued about anything, as difficult as it seemed. And when he said that, Darren’s friends would laugh incredulously, saying, "Impossible!"
Well, it wasn’t impossible...
However, it happened. Who knows what made Darren think that hiding some of his problems from her — just to spare her from worrying — was the best solution? Yuliya had always been his safe harbor, the person with whom he never had to hide anything. It was foolish of him to think that there should be any secrets between them, no matter how small.
And it was exactly this that triggered their first fight. A little fight, but still a fight. For Darren, it was a strange feeling. Being in the same place without talking to Yuliya for a few hours was disconcerting. The last person in the world he thought he would have a fight with was her.
In the end, it was just a silly fight that a good conversation, some cookies, and a bottle of vodka were enough to resolve the misunderstandings. Perhaps that event had been necessary for them. After all, overcoming difficult moments together was as important as sharing peaceful ones.
And with that, Darren also discovered that the greatest torture for him was having his wife angry at him.
