When Aarihini got back into the car, she looked into her rearview mirror and began to put on her red lipstick out of habit. After a moment, she began to laugh at herself for putting on lipstick just to wander around some villages.
“Who out here would even see me to notice”?, she thought. Then she realized that hardly anyone was there to notice at home, either, where she lived and worked mostly alone and hardly ever went out.
Aarihini thought back to the days when she started wearing bright lipsticks as an act of rebellion – it drove her mother crazy, but she liked the way it made her feel extra confident and assertive. Nowadays, it was just a habit, like so much else in her life.
Aarihini thought about how she wears that bright lipstick now – Not to go out on the town like she used to, but rather to sit and work through all hours of the night, many times not meeting anyone at all.
