Cordelia stared at her reflection in the mirror, flinching slightly at the pale, tear-stained appearance that her face had. What had happened to the mask of uncaring that she had always worn before?
You met someone who had a mask of his own.
Doyle's face flashed in her mind, his blue eyes sparkling with hope. She bit back a sob as it suddenly morphed into that of a demon, his beautiful eyes becoming a crimson red.
He didn't even trust me enough to show me the face hidden behind the mask.
With a sigh, she hesitantly put on her mask.
