Allison was in the kitchen keeping herself busy with preparing things for dinner. Of course she could be using magic to peel the potatoes and be doing more than just one thing at a time. But it took longer this way and kept her mind from wandering to topics she was trying to avoid thinking about. Not that she was trying to avoid her husband, because she wasn't. It was just she didn't get it. Yes the laws were stupid and wrong, but was that really a reason to just stop living the life you had been living for years. It made her feel like a bad wife that she wasn't being more supportive to him, more understanding but it hurt when he said he wished he'd just stayed muggle. Ally couldn't help but take it personally, it was who she was.

"Shit!" she cursed as she cut her finger with the potato cutter, throwing it into the sink. "And this is why I don't like doing things the muggle way" she muttered under her breath as she set the peeler to peel the potatoes itself and rinsed off her wound.

Ally's mouth dropped open at the last part of his statement. It was like a slap in the face. It took her a second before she could compose herself enough to speak. "You're absolutely right. I'll just never be able to understand." She copied his stance and fixed her gaze on the floor. She couldn't think of anything else to say because he was right. She couldn't understand.

Uh.. okay.

Once again, Ally surprised him, but this time by not getting angry. He had felt bad about his words even before they had finished coming out of his mouth, and he had been sure that she would get defensive. Hell, he would have. But no, she just--she conceded and stood there, as upset as she had been since he had started with this whole new job business.

Ugh, and there was no better way to make him feel like shit than that.

With a sigh, Sam pushed himself forward and gathered his wife into a hug, resting his chin on crown of her head. "I'm sorry," he muttered. "I---I'm not doing this to upset you or because I resent you, even the wizarding world itself, in general. But I can't live like a second class citizen and just bend to their will, and if that means I have to give up magic and stop venturing into that world---well, then that's what I'm going to do."

He took a step back and his hands went to her shoulders, squeezing lightly. "I am a wizard. I'll always be a wizard, no matter what they say or do to try and take that away. But I was a Muggle first, and right now I need to be a Muggle again. That doesn't make me any less the man you married. And just because you choose to stay a witch doesn't make me love you any less, either."
