Mark and Madeline - Insomnia.

Another story for today.
Madeline is a very inteligent woman - but sometimes she can got a glitch. (Well... As we all can when not fully awake.)

---

Mark was lying in bed with his eyes open, - sometimes there were such moments that the man could not fall asleep, and then Mark silently looked into the darkness, or tried to see in the darkness the ceiling of the room, or the chandelier, on which shadows fell from the occasional cars passing by on the street.
"You're awake?" Madeline asked sleepily. The woman start stiring and yawned next to him.
"I have insomnia." Abswered the man.
"And what are you doing when you can't asleep?" The woman asked sleepily.
"I think about different things.
Sometimes about various nonsense, and sometimes about something important. I think about my life and our family, I think about you and me. About me, you, and our future..." Answered the man.
"You want to leave me for another woman?..." Madeline suddenly sobbed, opening her eyes and looking at him.
"What???" Mark asked in deep surprise.
"You want to leave us and start a new family, - but the children won't be able to do without they dad, they love you so much..."
But Mark just silently listened all this with open jaw...

"Ouch!..." Madeline was suddenly silenced when Mark lightly hit her on the head with his palm.
"Are you crazy?" Asked the man.
"I love you, and you want to say that I will leave you and the children for another woman?
Do you really think I could do that to you?"
The man spoke in an increasingly menacing tone.
"Did you really think of me like that?" Asked the man, narrowing his eyes menacingly.
Madeline swallowed nervously and quickly negatively nodded her head.
"No... No..." The woman said quietly.
"Are you sure?" Mark asked, and Madeline nodded again.

"Just to be clear. - So are you sure that you're not sure, or are you sure that you're sure about, - that you're not sure about that?" Asked Mark.
Madeline looked at him confused, looking around and no longer knowing what to answer.
"Okay, forget it. But if you think of me like that again, I'll… I'll bite you in the ear!" Said the man, trying to add more menace to his voice.
Maybe Madeline did not fully believe this threat - but just in case, the woman pressed her ears closer to her head.

Mark could barely hold his laughter, as he continued to say all this nonsense with a serious look on his face and looking at her, but then the man mentally sighed, not wanting to making fun from his wife anymore.

"It's good, everything will be fine now." Answered Mark.
"I love you dearly and I always want to be by your side forever. And now don't be a fool and let's go to sleep."
"Okay!..." The wife happily answered with tears of joy in her eyes, after which the joyful woman laid down authoritatively on her husband's chest and fell asleep with a wide smile.
"And where did she hear all this nonsense?" Mark thought, as he slowly fell asleep next to his wife, - but this time sleep quickly taked him out.
