Sunblind (2013)
“Essie stares at me in silence, and the pause allows me to take a good look at her. She’s changed yet again. Cosmetically, she looks the same. Her haircut, makeup, and clothes are still stylish, but she’s aged since the last time I saw her. Did her date with Louis go that badly? If she was even out on a date with him? She drums the desk with her right hand, and I’m almost distracted from my objective because her newly manicured fingernails are painted a really interesting shade that I’ve never s...een before, kind of like a smoky purple. But while the color is pretty, her nails aren’t; they’re bitten. Her left hand mats down a flyaway hair, and her eyes dart to the front door. I know the reason she looks different. She’s nervous.
“Essie, are you all right?” I ask.
Her forehead creases, and she smiles at the same time, as if to answer yes and no simultaneously. She reminds me of someone who has a gun to her back and is trying to give a clue about her predicament without stating the obvious and risking retaliation.MoreLess
