She didn't want to look at him. Disappointment felt too strong to even hint the large, garish gold necklace with square green stones was the wrong choice. She knew how much it cost, not only in money but all those lonely nights for her whilst he was working late.

Moments later he looked at her wide smile, accepted wet kisses, felt her large breasts pressing into him. For once, he knew that this was the best present ever. The pretty sales assistant was right, she was deliriously happy with the necklace. It would look fabulous with the new green, tight dress, showing off her new slim figure.

There was a time she repulsed him, wide hips, protruding belly. Now she was the wife he always wanted.

After the dinner dance, sex in the hotel room, they fell asleep. He snored. She grabbed her suitcase, left the necklace and hideous dress, tiptoed out the room to meet her lover. He didn't care how heavy she was.
