She had scars. Just because they were hidden didn’t mean they weren’t there. It was surprising what a little makeup and a few accessories could do.
One scarf and the bruises where he’d choked her were gone. A pair of sunglasses and her swollen eye vanished. An expensive pair of gloves smoothed out the cuts and scrapes in the flesh, masking the fight she’d put up.
