Chapter 70: Janette.

I can tell the spa is a high-end one just by walking into it.

Two attendants flock to Safira, who they seem to be familiar with by the way, and who seems to find them delightful. I am ignored and I can see some of the ladies being attended to looking at me strangely.

One of them chortles when I walk past and I feel my ears go hot and red.

I need to get out of here.

'"Janette, what are you doing just standing there?"

Safira is loud and I can imagine half the people here now know I'm named Janette.

I walk over to her as fast as I can but when I pass by a mirrored wall, I stop for the tiniest moment.

The person who stares back at me in the mirror is almost one I do not recognize. It's still me, still Janette, with the acne-ridden face and the splotchy skin, too much forehead, and too few eyebrows. I'm still the one who stares back at myself, but right now, I don't know..... something has changed.

The moment is finished as soon as it starts and I cross the rest of the distance to Safira
