Her whole life had been make-believe, a myriad of people coming and going, and she, always looking at life through rose-tinted glasses. Like a carefully choreographed dance she knew precisely when to laugh, to smile. She could feign excitement and curiosity with her eyes, alone, better than anyone I knew. From the outside she appeared perfect, as people like her often do, but I saw something in her others overlooked: the way her ****** expressions loosened their grip on the facade, the way the energy drained from her eyes when she thought no one was looking, and, in that moment, you could see a glimpse of the girl she really was. A girl lying in a dark room, at an odd hour, with the moonlight cascading down on her, and no one around to impress but herself: the only person she never quite figured out.
