Behind The Mask
For a moment, I just watched him—wondering how something so peaceful could exist in the same world as the one I’d seen last night.
He opened his eyes and caught me staring.
“Do I have something on my face?” He asked.
I smiled, “yeah, beauty.”
We both chuckled.
I finally got dressed and left his place. Later that afternoon, I met Raina at home, and over coffee, I told her everything, the masked party, the tongueless girl, the darkness behind their charm.
“Everyone has one or two fantasies,” she said, trying to make it sound lighter than it was.
“Not all fantasies are meant to be fulfilled,” I reminded her.
