Intro. They say beauty is power. But what if your beauty has become a bait for pain? I'm Louise. A blonde with a smile that everyone wants to see happy. My husband calls it a "decorative function." And when I forget to smile "properly," he reminds me of the rules. I learned to hide abrasions under powder, and tears under "everything is fine." But that evening I couldn't. I ran out into the street, all bruised and desperate, and bumped into him. He was not at all like those who hurt. I could see steel in his eyes, but when he saw my face, the steel cracked. "You shouldn't live like that," he said. For the first time, someone said it out loud. If you want, I'll tell you how one look, one word – they changed everything.
