After my failure to evict the Metas, my wife’s importunings became unbearable. When I couldn’t stand them anymore, I burst out: “If you think you can handle the Abs and the Metas then go to it!”

“I will!” she feistily replied.

That night, descending the long staircase, she visited the Abs. I went to sleep before she returned, feeling not one whit guilty.

In the morning, she looked unnaturally disheveled, and had nothing to say. A male musk permeated her hair.

Two nights later, somewhat recovered, she set out for the Metas. I generously pointed out the location of their trapdoor.

Sometime around three a.m., I sleepily sensed her fall into bed beside me.

Over breakfast, I asked, “Did you convince the Metas to seek new lodgings?”

“Shut up,” she wearily replied, as if embarrassed and confused.

After this, there was no more mention of our inherited tenants.
