Who has a dressing table anymore? she thought. All of these bottles were gifts from past boyfriends. Strange she kept them. Next to the small bottles was a jar of foreign coins and bills.

She thought about her sister and her secrets. She imagined her sitting here, at her dressing table, She missed her.
