Jenny　a　fat；

rust…colored　eye　pencil。　？It　goes　on　softer　than　it　looks。？

Jenny　drew　a　careful　line　along　the　edge　of　one　eyelid　and　blinked　at　the　result。　She　looked

instantly　older；　and　the　color　gave　her　big　brown　eyes　a　nice　amber　glow。　She　leaned　forward　to　do

the　left　one　but　something　in　the　mirror？s　reflection　caught　her　eye。

Or　someone；　to　be　precise。

The　store　was　bustling　with　shoppers　stocking　up　on　winter　sale　items；　but　Bendel？s　only　caters
