She said nothing as he spoke.
After he shoved her back to the couch and said she used to be fun she whimpered, "I can be fun again Tommy, I'm sorry. I'll do it, I'll get cute and serve you and your friends. I'm fun!"
She knew it was pathetic, begging for her own husband's attention, but she didn't care.
She got up and went to their room. She had to shove past the boring things she had taken to wearing lately before she found a flirty little red dress. How long had it been sense she had worn this? Thankfully it still fit. The shoes that matched were at the bottom of the closet under a few sweatshirts she had let fall off the shelf. She sighed. It was as if everywhere she turned there was a reminder of how far she had let herself go. She did her usual light makeup. Tommy had told her when they were dating he didn't like girls with lots of makeup. Clare wondered if that was even still true. When was the last time she had given what he liked any thought?
That froze her, sitting at the cheap little vanity table she had in the corner of the bedroom. She really had no idea when the last time she thought about Tommy's needs was. It wasn't recently.
She walked back out to the living room, "Tommy, I am sorry, really sorry. I will do better." She pleaded with her eyes for him to believe her. She meant it. She would do anything to heal this rift between them.
