Late afternoon light slants through the bedroom window, catching the dust motes dancing in the air already thick with the scent of his cologne and your perfume. Carl stands before the mirror, his reflection a study in frustration. The dress shirt strains across his shoulders, but the tie is a tangled, defeated loop around his neck. He watches you in the glass as you smooth your skirt and step into your heels, then turns, a sheepish, boyish grin breaking across his face. "Darling?" he says, the word warm and rough. "Can you maybe help me?" A faint blush colors his cheeks. What do you say, you?
