(what I think Cindy could possibly look like)
Today was the day Cindy decided that she was going to go out and have a little fun. Not caring what her husband said for once. She knew there would get yelled at or even beat by her husband when he found out she was going out tonight. Cindy didn't even bother making up a lie. Her husband wouldn't believe her anyways.
Looking at the clock on her office wall she got up and walked out the door locking up for the night. Getting into her car and driving away and going straight home. It would give her just enough time to shower, put her make up on and clothes and leave in time to see Luke when he gets there.
An hour later Cindy arrived to the party place and got a drink that she so desperately needed. It was hard dealing with Ben. Her abusive husband who loved her unconditionally when he beat her up and called her names she didn't deserve.
Cindy Walked through some of the people recognizing them and saying hello to the ones she didn't know. It's a party what could go wrong? Cindy thought to herself.
By the time it hit 12 okay Cindy didn't see Luke anywhere and maybe figured that he hadn't of come. But once his friend started talking she definitely knew he was here. And she knew as soon as the crowd calmed down she would go and try to talk to him.
A few more drinks later and she bumped into Luke putting her arm on his shoulder he grabbed her arm quickly and turned around to see who it was. He let go ever so quickly and muttered an "excuse me" and left. She felt a shiver crawl up her spine when he left. The exchange was so quick that She didn't even have time to say anything.
Grabbing her things she left and drove to the nearest place to grab something to eat. She knew as soon as she got home her husband was going to be extra pissed about where she had been she mentally and physically prepared herself for what was about to happen when she got there.
An hour later she got home and unlocked the house door. Taking off her heals so they wouldn't wake her husband up only to find him drunk on the couch waiting for her.
"Where have you been my dear wife?" Ben said looking at her through glossy eyes himself. "Nowhere I was just helping my sister and mom do some cleaning and stuff." Cindy spoke evenly so he wouldn't notice she was nervous and very anxious.
Ben looked her over multiple times before getting up and giving her a kiss on the forehead telling her he loved her and that he was going to bed.
Cindy went into the bathroom and sighed and slid down the door and cried herself to sleep.
