Begging For A Reconciliation

Leah was quick to pick up on her mood. “What’s wrong?”

Serena looked up. “I lost my lipstick. It’s the one that Jesse gave me. Wah…”

She was on the verge of tears.

Leah froze.

Jesse was a man that Serena admired. She had fallen for him back in high school. Jesse had gifted her lipstick for her birthday. Its shade didn’t match her very well, but she treated it like a precious gem. She would use it whenever she was to attend a big event or participate in a competition as a lucky charm.

“What happened? Did you drop it somewhere?” Leah frowned. “Calm down. Let’s think about it.”

Serena thought about it for a moment before clapping her hands together. “I must’ve dropped it in the restroom. I’ll go look for it!”

Leah picked up her purse. “I’ll come with you.”

The duo rushed to the restroom in a feverish hurry but before Leah even had a chance to look, Serena let out a high-pitched shriek.

“What?” Leah immediately asked.

“My lipstick! Oh my god!” Serena yelped and lunged forward.

Hearing this, Leah took a closer look, and her expression ever so subtly shifted.

A little boy was sitting in the corner with lipstick in hand and doodling on the walls.

It was as if he were using it as a paintbrush and was drawing very vigorously.

Serena swooped in to salvage it and snatched the lipstick from the boy.

The little boy burst into tears and wailed.

His cries also caught his mother’s attention. The door to one of the stalls swung open as a shrill voice resounded, accompanied by the clacking of her heels. “Charlotte, what’s wrong sweetie?”
