Yvonne remained at her vanity, brushing her hair aside as she sorted through her array of cosmetics. "It's my first day--I want to look presentable. A polished appearance leaves a lasting impression," she replied with enthusiasm, dabbing foundation onto her cheeks.

"I knew it was pointless to ask you. You never say anything nice." "Right back at you," Norton shot back, his smirk playing at the corner of his mouth.
"That's not true! I give you compliments every day, she insisted, ve raising an eyebrow.
