Four days before Christmas Bo came home with a really pretty dress and new makeup, since I hadn't worn any since my father's funeral, and shoes. 

"We are having a big Christmas party at work and you have to come. Everyone is bringing their family and I can't get out of it."

"I get to go?"

"That's what I just said that didn't I?" a bit of anger. I knew better. 

"If this doesn't fit you right now just don't eat anything between now and then. I expect you to figure out the new makeup. If you need help we can go to the salon before we go. You have to look your best." 

"Ok. I will try to figure it out. Dinner is on the table. Can I go try the dress on now?"

"Yes, if its tight you won't be eating dinner... I know you heard me."

I went to my room to try on the pretty pink dress. I wasn't sure why he thought I could have gained weight. I didn't eat much. After my father died I put on a few pounds and got punched in the stomach to make sure that every time I ate I would remember that pain and eat less. After that I stopped eating for a while, then when I couldn't stand it anymore I only ate when necessary. 

When I looked in the mirror I was shocked. I am not sure how long it had been since I last looked at myself but in that dress, I felt like a princess. Bo had good taste. If anything it was a bit too big, I went out to show him. 

"It looks nice. You actually should try to gain a couple of pounds. I didn't realize you had lost weight." He stood up and crossed the room to me, and took me in his arms. "Tomorrow after work we should go to the mall and find you a couple of pieces of jewelry for the party. We can go to the Salon and get your hair done and you can have them do your make-up so you know what to do."

"Don't make dinner either, we will dine out."

I was super excited. It had been so long since I had done anything with my hair, it was super long. My only jewelery was our wedding set. He had to impress my father so it was beautiful. 

My happiness didn't last however because he took off my dress right there and laid it over one of the chairs and carried me to my bedroom. At least it didn't take him long. He thrust himself into me for about thirty seconds and then collapsed on top of me. 

"Goodnight Rose."

"Goodnight Bo."
