In the Dead of Summer (2012)
“MACKENZIE SAID. WE parked his car in my spot in the alley behind the school. The Mustang, not sufficiently damaged to be covered by my insurance, had been towed to a semi-schlocky body shop that promised overnight magic, and Mackenzie didn’t think graffiti would strike twice in the same parking spot. “I’m only going along because I don’t think you should be going anywhere at all tonight. And surely not alone.”
“I’m fine,” I muttered.
“Yeah, right. You still have a patch of bright red in your ha...ir, as if your scalp were bleeding. And red dots around your eyes.”
“They said they’d wear off.”
“An’ you don’t have much in the way of eyelashes.”
“That’s not a real handicap, is it? Besides, the sunglasses help.” I looked like a termite, but I was trying to be gallant about it. My eyes were working—working well enough to make out a fine spray of pinky-red paint on the ground near where I’d stood this afternoon.
