Stuart was running around like a headless chicken in the house while Berry was sitting crossed-legged and comfortable on a video call with Marie. He was busy reporting their early morning squabble to Marie, who was finding it harder and harder to stop herself from laughing. Stuart watched from the kitchen as they gossiped about him like he wasn't there. This was what he had feared. This is why he never wanted his boyfriend and sister to become close friends. Now, they gossip and laugh at his expense.
From where he was standing, he could hear Marie's hysterical laughter, and he could do nothing but facepalm. He regretted what he did this morning; now, Berry had kept him in the dog house and refused to talk to him, which was why he was doing everything to appease his boyfriend and make him happy.
