Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Lucinda had finished cleaning the juice stains off her dress and then applied some more Lip gloss.
She stared at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.
During the three years she married into the Roberts family, Lucinda never wore makeup. She spent her days cooking, cleaning and doing laundry for the family, never bothering to dress up or take care of her appearance.

The pungent smell of tobacco made Lucinda wrinkle her nose in disgust.
The smoke Nathaniel exhaled shrouded his face, adding a sense of mystery to him. After a while, he finally broke the silence.
