Chapter 38

Max nibbled on her lunchtime sandwich and flicked through the glossy magazine. There was a feature about women’s lips. The main picture was of a mouth that made Mick Jagger’s look like a pencil line. It was painted sex-red and sparkled like a disco ball. It was a mouth that a gypsy bride would be proud of.

‘Wow,’ gasped Max and she whistled, imagining her own lips twinkling in the church like twin rubies. She was in the grip of a wedding-obsession vice now and her inner radar was constantly on the lookout for embellishments for her big day. She knew she shouldn’t, she knew that Stuart had forbidden it, but she simply couldn’t help herself. Her insides were rebelling against all the spartan plans – like a woman on a diet stuffing herself full of Star Bars. She had to add those lips to her ever-growing list of must-haves.

Jess entered with a coffee and a plate of biscuits.

‘Hi, boss,’ she said in her usual cheery way, then she looked over Max’s shoulder to see what she was reading. ‘Wow’ was her verdict also.

‘Look at that lippy. Isn’t it fabulous?’ Max held up the page for her to see it more closely.

‘That is major,’ Jess said.

‘How do they get that effect?’

‘It’s glitter that you paint on to your lipstick. Barry M do it. I think it’s really meant for your eyes but you can put it on your mouth as well. Comes with a sort of top coat, as far as I know.’

‘Well, that’s me heading to Boots right now,’ said Max. ‘Sorry to waste that coffee, Jess, but I don’t think I can wait.’

‘Oh it’s fine,’ said Jess, flapping her hand. She was used to Max’s inability to ignore an impulse. ‘I’ll make you a fresh one when you get back.’

Max grabbed her coat and an updated vision of herself drifted into her brain as she stood in the lift: a gypsy bride with sparkling lips. She wondered if she should paint her toenails to match.
