Red Lipstick
My Grandma always told me that I was the prettiest girl she’d ever laid eyes on. She’d say “Darlin, The good lord din’t bless us wit no money. I reckon that’s why he done blessed you’ns with so much good looks. You’ns gotta use them looks to getcha some a them dreams people talk about.”
I grew up in a farm town a little north of Atlanta. Money didn’t really matter to me. I guess I always assumed that I would stay here and start a family.
Things changed the day Henry moved here. That was the day I bought my first tube of lipstick.
