The Master's Child
Now, however, in my left hand, I hold a hair just plucked from my own scalp: the mousy-brown shade of my current identity.
In the right hand, I hold the hair which dropped from my hotel room door as I returned, and which on casual inspection, I had taken to be the one I slicked into place as I left the room earlier.
But the right-hand hair is red.
And now I look at it, I recognise that shade: a deep burnished copper-auburn that many women aspire to, but few have.
But Mitch has it. Jenny too;
Could it come from one of them?
Probably, yes.
