Something Has Come Between Them

There is some kind of snarling coming from the other room. A viscous sound coming from the gritted teeth, it seems, of some coiled monster waiting to strike. I can imagine the bared teeth and the squinting, glinting eyes staring into the face of its victim.

And there is some kind of other sound coming from the room, too. A woman making fun of the snarls. Ooh, ooh! she says, as it growls and howls in return. She is clearly not impressed.

Something has come between them, it seems. I thought that it was that stuffed, green frog, but it turns out to have been a rawhide stick.
