Task: "She studied her face in the mirror."
She studied her face in the mirror. The woman starring back isn't what she wants to see. She leans into the sink to look closer at her eyes. Rubbing underneath as if the dark sunken circles would easily rub away. Livy had never seen such a pale looking, sick complexion.
"Ugh, I look so disgusting!" She blurted out in a soft spoken sigh. Just as she put her head down and let a tear fall from her eye.
"Your the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on." She whispered into her ear, while wrapping her arms around Livy from behind.
"Oh Jesus Alexis, you scared the shit out of me." She turned around and playfully punched Alexis in the shoulder. "Your obligated to say that, we're practically married."
"I'm not obligated to do or say anything, and I mean what I say. Your bald head is sexy... I'd do you." Alexis joked.
Livy cracked a little smile. "Well regardless of what you are saying, and everyone else, I still don't feel it. Nor do I believe it in my heart. No one understands what it's like to look in the mirror and see this!" As she points her to face.
"Your right, I don't have any idea what it's like, but I do know that your my wife and everyday that I wake up I think your the sexiest woman I've ever seen. This is only temporary, it's not going to last forever."
"I know, I know, I just want my hair back, I want to be able to throw it up in a messy bun, and let it get all knotted up in a tangled mess. It's just so stupid that cancer had to take my damn hair." Livy laid her head on Alexis's shoulder and began to cry.
"Come on babe, lets get out of here for a while."
Alexis put her hand on Livy's back and guided her out of the bathroom. She grabbed the car keys, her guitar, and some bottled waters and walked out the door.
