“Yes, fifteen prisoners of war in all,” James said. “I just don’t know that we can exchange the prisoners they want.”
“I know,” Will said. “I have an idea.”
“I’m all ears.”
Chapter Thirty-Three
Liv squirted some cleanseronto her hand and started to rub it in circular motions on her face. A podcast played in the background, but Liv had tuned it out. Her brain was too fried to follow along.
It had been a long day in a long week.
She was tired and didn’t, absolutely didn't want to do this skincare routine right now.
She sighed as she rinsed the cleanser off her face and then grabbed asecondcleanser and began to wash her faceagain. Steph had talked her into starting a new skincare routine she’d seen on NokNok, and as much as shewantedto be the sort of woman who had a skincare routine, she did not like being anactualwoman with a skincare routine.
It was too much work. It was literally eight steps (EIGHT!). There were so many other things she’d rather spend her time doing.
She leaned closer to the mirror. Her scar was fading and his bruises were just a hint of yellowy-green at the moment. Her body was still a little stiff, but she was feeling more and more like herself every day.
She looked over all the skin care products on the bathroom counter and groaned softly. She picked up the toner. Was this next? Maybe it was the serum? Or was she supposed to be exfoliating tonight?
Ugh.
Too much work.
“Hey, Liv,” Ben called from the other side of the door. There’s something you need to see.
“Ok, I’ll be out in a sec,” Liv called back as she shrugged and grabbed the moisturizer. She was going to skip steps three to seven tonight and jump straight to eight. She scooped out the moisturizer and slathered it on her face.
Good enough.
“Oh,” Steph said when she walked out into the living room. “Your skin looks so good. Did you do all eight steps? You really have to do all of them to see a difference. I think it’s helped with your bruises too. What do you think?”
“Um...”
“Not now,” Ben said. “Y’all can talk NokNok skincare another time. Liv, you need to see this video.”
