She apologizes for what she said during sex.

An actual blush graced itself on Sarah’s cheeks, and pulled closer to Tom as she started explaining. “I’m really, really sorry for what I said during sex. Ever since I got the idea to kind of...change my aesthetic, I’ve been feeling really cool, and in the moment that felt right for what I was going for. But you’re not a sex toy! You’re my husband, and I love you.” Then, she gave him an almost chaste kiss on his cheek.

Putting an arm around her, Tom felt happier than he’d been in years. It was good that, despite the wishes, she really did still love him. “Thanks, honey. But don’t worry too much about it, I knew it was just dirty talk.” Now, it was Tom’s turn to blush a little, as he admitted, “Plus, I kind of liked it. Having you be all dominant was really sexy.”

That made her giggle, very much breaking the character she’d been building up since coming home. “I could tell. Still, let me know if I ever go too far. I’ll keep it up, when I feel like it, but no matter what I say while we’re having sex, don’t ever forget that I love you, okay?” He nodded, and together they fell asleep, feeling comfortable despite the changes so far. But little did Tom know, this was just a small stop down the road Sarah was taking. Right then, she was still basically herself, she just now enjoyed sometimes playing the Bad Girl character. But slowly, what was real and what was act was going to start to blur.
