Illusions (The Missing #1)
“I had woken up especially early so I could get a shower before Mother was up. I had meticulously dried my hair, then had taken the time to style it. Going so far as to use gel. The strands were thin and limp and wouldn’t do what I wanted so I ended up brushing my hair flat on either side of my face. I didn’t bother with makeup, because what would be the point?
I painted my nails and moisturized my skin. I took care and attention in a way I never had before. I wanted to feel attractive. Just thi...s once.
But more importantly I needed to see what the rest of the world saw. I had to know how bad it really was.
I ran my tongue over my lips and forced myself to stare into a face I had only seen a handful of times.

My eyes were nice. Sometimes they appeared brown, other times they were green. Bradley said that he liked my eyes and that had always made me feel good.
I tried to focus on the things I liked.MoreLess
