Beep-beep-beep
Cole gritted his teeth and pressed the restart button yet again.
Beep-beep-beep
He cursed under his breath, what the fuck was wrong with the god-damned thing? He pulled the cover off, replaced it, pressed restart again.
Beep-beep-beep
It’s driving him insane; he’s a capable man, a war hero, why the hell can’t he turn a smoke detector off? It was only some burnt toast for Christ’s sake!
Beep-beep-beep
He was gonna shoot the piece of crap alarm, he couldn’t take it!
Beep-beep-beep
His wife appeared, pressed the button and held it in.
Silence.
He had never loved her more.
