My nails have been cut shorter, curved into almond shapes, and painted a soft pink.

My tattoo is completely covered and in my ears, I’m wearing just small pearl studs, the rest

empty. Leo’s earring is sitting on the counter and I’m waiting for my chance to swipe it.

Subtle blush and a touch of pink lipstick finish off my look.
