Erin looked to her left, then looked to her right.
Silence.
Both mom and dad were eating completely peacefully, not even looking at each other.
Something was really wrong!
Ever since a few days ago, mom and dad had entered a strange state where neither barely talked to the other. When they did, it was always weird things she didn't understand, or they would whisper to each other. Each whispering followed up by a brief pause from the other, before they would whisper something back.
The the two of them would swiftly walk away from the other, as if running away.
They didn't go out as often together anymore, they didn't have any small talk, and they didn't even talk about any interesting events or how their day went anymore. Like right now while eating.
Rather, the two would just look at each other really intensely.
They didn't even sleep together anymore!
