Rose looks particularly fetching by firelight because she is a pinkish person; her skin has a pink glow and her hair is pinkish gold, very light and feathery. Although I am rather used to her I know she is a beauty. She is nearly twenty-one and very bitter with life. I am seventeen, look younger, feel older. I am no beauty but have a neatish face.
I love this narrator so far. I know it's page two but so far the voice is 🤌 (pretend that's a chef's kiss and not a mobster hand(/claw?))
