After almost a decade, Eloise had finally opened her door. She smiled weakly, then began to tear up. “Oh Scarlet,” she said quietly. “I’m a hideous monster.”

Scarlet reached out to comfort her. “All I see is a beautiful woman who has a new radiant look.”

“No…”

“Seriously! You look as though you painted a masterpiece your face. You’re completely stunning!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“…Stop looking at me like that, you’re making me blush.”
