It wasn’t, but she could trick her eyes if she wanted to. It was Ruby Woo, the red lipstick her mom had insisted she wear to “complete the 1920s look.” Pip kept forgetting about it and accidentally touching her mouth: another smudge there on her little finger.

If you get home before Mom and I are back from the movie, will you let the dog out?” “Yes, yes.” She waved him off, walking up to the front door side by side with Zach.
