"Alright, alright. How do you want me to make it up to you?"

"Forget it," she said as she pulled away. "Now you're just thinking about what you can say that'll get you laid the quickest."

"Aww, come on, Ari," he begged. "I'm sorry."

She turned away from him. She doesn't know if it's all the emotions of the night catching up with her but she felt herself start to tear up. All she wanted when she bought the set was to wow him and feel sexy, and she managed to do neither.

"Ariadne." He took her hand and brought it to his lips.

She sniffled and hated herself for it, not looking at him. She was getting emotional over something stupid.

"Do you know," he began, stepping in closer to her. "That you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."

"You don't have to," she said shaking her head, still looking down. "I know that's not true."

He knitted his brow together. "It is. I promise. I would bend over backwards for you - I'd do anything."

"I know. I'm sorry," she said quietly, swiping at her eyes. "I'm being stupid and self-conscious."

He shook his head. "You shouldn't feel that way. You're perfect for me."

"I just wanted you to think I was sexy," she said.

"I think you're sexy," he said. "All the time, in fact."

"Thanks," she said quietly, not feeling sexy right that at all. Her eyes red from trying not to cry and still in that stupid lingerie.

"And while I think you look sexy right now in this lingerie, you know that I don't need frills," he said.

"I wanted to do something special," she said. "It was going to be our last night together for a while.

"I thought you would like it."

He wrapped his arms around her again. "I like it," he assured her.

"Not as much as I'd hoped," she said quietly.

"I like it," he repeated. "Come on, let's just...sleep. We don't have to do anything tonight."

She nodded and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

He sighed quietly as he watched her go. When he was down to his underwear, he joined her in the bathroom to brush his teeth.

By then she was brushing her teeth in a t-shirt she'd left on the back of the bathroom door, the lingerie she had on was in the bathroom trash.

He brushed his teeth at the other sink beside her and when he saw what was in the trash, he looked at her sadly in the mirror. "You don't have to throw it away."

She shrugged.

"I'm not going to wear it again," she said after spitting out her toothpaste.

He sighed. "Would you wear something I bought?"
