I glopped the thick, black ink over my blonde hair, watching the Saint disappear under a layer of sludge. While the dye set, I wore a pair of flat, muddy brown eye contact lenses, that typically erased my oceanic eyes. I looked in the mirror. My eyes looked dead. Good.

The cold mixture dripped down the sides of my face, but I didn’t care. I needed to disappear again. To hide… even while standing in plain sight. “Please... don’t let them find out,” I thought, biting my lower lip as I massaged the dye into my scalp. I tried to focus on something that made me feel strong. I thought of Marilyn. Of the women who had called out to me that night, fear written all over their faces.

Dylan throws a cushion at me. “No, the whole black outfit thing.” Oops maybe I’m giving myself away a bit too obviously. “I just fancy a change is all.” “Well, whatever you do, don’t go dying your hair. It’s so pretty all that blonde color and natural.” “I’d never dye my hair; I love it too much.”

Naturally, we buy the dress. We also stock up on inexpensive and easy food - chips, granola bars, and supplies for PB&J sandwiches - as well as a cheap six-pack of beer. I consider grabbing some dye for my hair, but my stomach tightens when I find myself faced with the rows upon rows of hues. Coloring my hair means addressing my past decisions, and I'm not ready to do that yet. Instead, I throw my curls up in a messy bun and return with Ward to the car. "Well," he says with a grin as he starts the car, "that's one state down."

Edwin’s well-meaning but overbearing interference. And now this—having to dye my hair yet again to avoid even more discrimination. I sectioned off the silver streak and began applying the dye, the chemical smell making my nose wrinkle.

Reid obliges and within the next fifteen minutes, Raees is sitting in front of a large mirror, Reid behind her, reading a magazine with his mind not on the piece of paper but the woman in the chair. “Welcome ma’am, you have such lovely natural know. What would you like us to do for you today? A trim? Curl? Perm?” Raees smiles good naturedly at the lady. “I’d like to dye it red.” “Oh.

Next, dipping the brush into the vibrant pink dye, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement wash over me. I carefully painted the dye onto the tips of my hair, watching as the pigment spread evenly across each strand.

This feeling only intensified as I examined my reflection in the mirror, admiring how the pink gradients seemed to dance along the edges of my blonde hair.

To blend into the background. To convince myself that if I looked like an ordinary, nameless baker, the ghosts of my past would never find me.
