His Unveiled Passion

Tessa recognized the look on Anne's face. She decided to help her by asking, "Anne, do you have something to say to me?"

Anne hesitated before saying, "Tessa, could you... Could you put on some makeup for me?"

"I'm sure you've noticed that I'm not recovering. I'm getting weaker by the day. Every time Lucas stops by, I can see how red his eyes are. I know he's upset. I don't want Lucas to worry about me."

Tears pricked the back of Tessa's eyes as despair crashed over her in relentless waves. "Of course, I can do that for you. You have such a cute face that you'll look beautiful with makeup on."

A smile crept up on Anne's face, resulting in two dimples burrowing themselves into her pale cheeks. "You really think so?"

"I know so!" Tessa reassured Anne with a nod, ignoring the stinging sensation in her nose. "I'll bring my makeup products with me when I see you tomorrow. I'll give you the prettiest makeover."

"Okay," Anne agreed, her eyes curving into crescents.
