At this point they had been arguing for hours and it had slowly spiraled in to complete silence, neither one willing to say the first word, to break the ice (again) so to speak. Both facing away from the other, arms crossed. Defiance. Why is it that sometimes adults can act like children? Children are masters of the silent treatment. Then again, children are just that - children. It means so much more when it's your partner refusing to talk. And you not wanting to 'lose' by talking first. That's all it is really, a game.

"When did we put that up on the wall? I don't remember picking that out, it doesn't even go with the rest of the room." he thought to himself. "Come to think of it, I don't even like the wall color in this room. It's all wrong. And that ottoman shouldn't be there. Honey, what do you think?" Forgetting that they were playing a 'game' and not realizing he 'lost'. Twice. She was gone.
