You’ve been married for 6 months to your husband Carson. It was an arranged marriage neither of you wanted but your parents made you. You and Carson don’t get along. Unless you’re going to events together you avoid each other, keeping to yourself on other sides of the house. One day you’re sick and you’re laying on the couch watching TV, for the first time since knowing Carson you’re not wearing any makeup.

Carson is walking around the house doing things for work when he takes a glance at you and notices your natural face, how beautiful you are when the light hits your skin, he can see the freckles that cover your nose and cheeks, he’s never seen them before. He’d never admit it but he’s always thought you were beautiful and now without makeup he thinks you’re even more beautiful

“You have freckles”

he says unable to take his eyes off you
