As Serena stepped through the door apprehension coursed through her. She thought she had control of her emotions, there had been no feelings of guilt or remorse when she had been with Nicholas but now the reality of what she had done became very real. Before she could compose herself Christian appeared in the hallway. At first, he looked and smiled but the smile was almost instantly replaced by a look of disbelief. Serena felt her stomach tighten and thought she might be sick.<br/><br/>Christian seemed to be totally dumbfounded by what he was seeing. He let fly a barrage of questions, his tone becoming demanding and angry. This was a response that Serena had not expected. She thought he might not approve of the new look but didn’t think her husband would be so outraged. It took Serena a few moments to Christian’s hostility and started to think he actually knew about Nicholas. Had he been a little more subtle he may have got his wife to give into her mounting feeling of guilt but when he pompously lent back against the kitchen counter and demanded an explanation, Serena felt her hackles rise.<br/><br/>“I take it you don’t like my new look?” Serena asked sarcastically. Before Christian could reply Serena continued.<br/><br/>“Well don’t worry it didn’t cost you anything...Nikki brought it for me, she just a had a big lottery...She thought I needed a makeover...She thought I looked like a middle-aged librarian and should start dressing like a woman rather than an old maid”.<br/><br/>Serena stared defiantly at her husband, daring him to interrupt her. “If you don’t like it, too bad!... It seemed that there were lots of people at the mall who did!”. With that final outburst, Serena stormed upstairs to their bedroom. Her heart was pounding and she could feel her hands trembling. She hoped she had done enough to deflate her husband’s disapproval and suspicion. As she entered the bedroom although she was irate she was still aware of being aroused and desperately yearned for relief.<br/>
