It was a lipstick from an expensive brand. But the shade... It was the one Sarah had worn the first time they met.

A wave of suffocating emotion hit her, and Lily couldn't help but inhale deeply.

Xavier, sensing something was off, glanced over at her. "What's wrong?" he asked, confused by her reaction to some lipstick as though it might kill her.

Lily's fingers tightened around the lipstick, turning pale. She tried to steady herself, looking straight ahead as she slipped the lipstick into the compartment. "Ms. Lynde must have left it behind," she said casually as if nothing were amiss. "I'll make sure to return it to her someday."

But in her attempt to stay composed, she inadvertently revealed that the lipstick belonged to Sarah.
