Normal

Bessy and John are diamonds in the rough; obviously a power couple in the making, and obviously very much in love.
They both work and drive nice cars, live in a beautiful home which she tends to with care and devotion.
They work on many projects together, and the large amount of time they spend in each other's company is filled.
Filled with productivity, with growth.

With normalcy.

The normal absence of her family and friends.
The normal feedback about her appearance and her body.
John's normal frustration with her ineptitude, which sometimes makes him say he will leave her.
His normal refusal to have children with her, because they could split up at any moment.
Her normal low balance in her checking account from paying all the bills.
And the occasional, completely normal, small outburst where he throws things in her direction because he's mad.
They never land.

She's not an actual target. He's just letting off some steam.
He never hits her.
He would never.
He is fine.
She is fine.

They are normal...
