Roger & Stella: Part 1

Roger wore a bowtie nearly everyday and by nearly everyday, I mean everyday. He had one for every occasion, even casual Tuesdays. Occasionally, he would wear more than one at a time. This caught Stella's attention and for a reason unbeknownst to her, the bowties were irresistible. She couldn't get enough. She finally gathered the courage to knock on his door. She knocked but immediately got worried that she didn't knock loud enough. Roger was probably doing something important, as someone with a bowtie usually is. Maybe he didn't hear the first one because there was 6 seconds of idle time so Stella decides to knock with more authority. In that very moment, Stella also decides that she is going to play a joke on Roger because since he wears bowties, he likes to be playful. Stella knocks on the door 3 times in a row louder which each knock, and joking yells, "POLICE, OPEN UP". Roger answers the door in a cheerful mood. "Well, I didn't know it was a crime to be fashionable". Stella laughs harder than she should but Roger doesn't notice. Stella follows him into the living room where the couch seems to be made entirely of bowties. The wall was covered in framed photos of bowties. Stella seats herself on the bowtie couch with her legs crossed (like a bowtie). Roger was cooking dinner and there was a box of bowtie pasta next to the pan. Stella starts to wonder if Roger likes bowties too much? She started to think about their life together and began to ask the one question she never knew she would have to ask. "Would the bowties, the thing that she once loved the most about Roger, actually be their kryptonite?" She couldn't risk it and decided to confront him about it. "Roger, if we are to continue down this path, you are going to have to fork over your bowties!" Stella realized that she made a joke about bowtie pasta and started to giggle rather loudly. Roger loved her bowtie humor and was excited by her own excitement. Stella is still laughing, even she is surprised by it all. She soon becomes a human being again and decides that she is frustrated by Roger not taking her seriously. Roger was now setting the bowtie pasta on the bowtie plates and was on the cusp of asking if Stella wanted another glass of Bowtwine (yeah.). Stella became furious and started to scream, "WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME LIKE YOU LOVE BOWTIES?". She stormed out, slamming the door behind her causing more than one painting to fall. Roger actually had turned around for a moment to check on the bread in the oven (which was just about done but not quite yet) and had missed Stella's exit.
