The Faintest of Sounds

Testing the Limits of Jealousy

Brian's new girlfriend claims she isn't as possessive as his previous girlfriend. In the evening Brian's girlfriend is far more interested in the poetry her visiting friend Laura has written than on the fact that Laura's little skirt does nothing to cover her legs, or that Brian can't keep his eyes off the view. Later that night while his girlfriend is asleep Brian decides it's finally time to find out for sure whether his girlfriend gets jealous. This short story takes place a couple weeks after the novel, The Point of no Return.
