"Maybe this was a bad idea.” She called from behind the closed curtain of the changing room. What had she been thinking? Must’ve been that time of year. The holidays always made everything seem extra lonely. Less presents under the tree. No partner to hold hands with under the table at Thanksgiving dinner. No stupid couples costumes, or mistletoe, or any of that cheesy stuff. Corny. Candy corn she had to eat all by herself. Nobody to hold her during Frankenstein (1931). Too much thinking, too much lace. She was tired of looking in the mirror. “Okay, okay, I’m coming out--”
Lingerie shopping was definitely a bad idea. “I feel like an idiot.” Chelsea announced to Aubrey, with her knees crossed against the change room couch. Chelsea flashed her the corset, before hiding her body back behind the safety of a matching red robe. She groaned. “I mean-- I just feel like such a mom. Don’t get me wrong, I love Jack more than anything, and I wanted to do this all by myself, but it’s just... Not sexy? No sex, I haven’t had sex in so long-- and it’s so sad and lonely being in the beach house all by myself, and I... I just want someone, y’know? I mean, is there somewthing wrong with that? Is there something wrong with me?” Chelsea was pacing, now. Hands on her temples. “Yeah, there is. Sorry, I’m being selfish and self-centred and this was just dumb-- what, what do you wanna do?”
