"Roxanna come her please?"He called out to her she came in the hallway door sitting down her skirt bustaling as she walked around her heeled shoes clicking on the floor her Blonde hair even longer waving around behind her her face elegant but also innocent.
"Yes husband?"She inquired her voice nothing but dripping venom.Her green eyes were hard and rounded toward him.She absolutely dispised him.
"I would like you to join me to the auction today the men there are believing that i have no wife and am all talk because you somehow disappear when they come around now run off and wear your most elegant dress that green one you made a year ago it brings out your eyes."He explained.
"I would husband but i cannot."She said still dripping venom
"Why not wife?"Caprell asked looking at her questioningly.
"My body for it has changed much since last year it would be must to tight on my bosom."Roxanna explained looking down at herself.
"It is okay wife but go put it on for i want the men to not be able to take their eyes off of you."He said and with that he went outside.
