I couldn’t find a good quote on page 56 so I went to page 156 and found this.
I stared at myself in the mirror.
My nose was back to normal; the only remnant of my two black eyes was a slight yellow shading across one brow bone. I could use Ian’s balm, but I didn’t want to. For all I knew, the stuff was an aphrodisiac or some kind of lust potion, which would explain my hopping into bed with him so easily.
“It couldn’t just be that you were horny and he’s hot”? I asked the woman in the mirror.
She gave me the finger.
