I stared at the dark circles beneath my swollen eyes from the reflection of the mirror. I wondered if it was noticeable, the lat thing I needed was for Alex to think his action affected me.
I wasn't mad because he was with his ex. I was mad because he didn't attend our engagement party. I lied to myself.
They said if you keep lying, one day your lies would actually be the truth. So I knew the only way to stay sane with Alex is to lie to myself that I don't care about him. I hope it sticks to my stupid heart and it learns to stop beating for the wrong person.
I would used makeup to cover up the dark circle even if that wasn't my favorite thing to do.
Once I was done bathing, I got dressed without the help of the maids and applied a little foundation beneath my eyes to cover the bag. Luckily it was almost unnoticeable unless you look closely.
