Girl in the Beaded Mask (2011)
“She was almost shocked that she didn’t look completely different, that her face hadn’t changed to match her heart. But aside from a flush in her cheeks she looked just the same.
Yet she wasn’t the same at all. She had just made love. With David.
She wanted to shout the words out loud, to throw out her arms and twirl around. The bathroom was too small for that, though, so she just grinned at herself in the mirror. She tossed the flannels she had used for washing into the covered basket, dropped ...the tube of lipstick into her handbag and patted her hair into place before she replaced the mask.
What would happen now? She had no idea. David had looked so angry and appalled by what happened between them. She thought her heart would shatter until he took her into his arms again. She didn’t want to think about the future. She just wanted to think about tonight, with David, and how all her hidden, secret dreams were coming true.
She unlocked the door and stepped out into the corridor, where a short line of women in pastel silk dresses waited for the bathroom.MoreLess
