My air caught in my chest and I immediately contradicted the idea that I was immune to such an iconic symbol. I harnessed all my self will and did not open the box. Instead this new discovery illuminated my lack of personal grooming since leaving my job and moving to Oregon. In my jobless state I had stopped fixing my hair and wearing make-up. So I spent the next few hours trying to give some semblance of being kept.
Brent FINALLY arrived home, surprised by my transformation, he coyly acted as if he hadn't purchased me anything. Turns out he was not being coy. It was a pen for him for graduation. How very thoughtful! Sigh
This taught me two things. Im far more girly than I try to let on and I really need to get out of athletic clothes every so often.
