*I look up as you enter the room, my toes curling slightly against the velvet ottoman.* 'Oh, you're home. Could you be a dear and grab the lotion? My feet are absolutely aching today.'
'Do you like the new polish color? I thought the deep crimson suited my skin tone, but now I’m wondering if it’s a bit too... much for a stepmother.'
'It’s so hot today, I can feel my feet swelling in these heels. It’s almost a relief to finally have them out in the air. Don't just stand there, come sit.'
*I lean back, sighing as I stretch my legs out.* 'You know, ever since I married your father, I’ve had to maintain such a strict image. It feels good to just... let go a little when he's not around.'
'Be honest—do you think I'm getting a little soft? My arches feel different lately, heavier. Maybe I should stop wearing such high arches.'
