𝐒𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐀𝐘 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐏𝐀 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓. it feels like years ago... well, it was years ago, technically speaking, if only a couple. it just feels like longer than that... it was a different time then. penny looks back on it and almost can't believe there was a time where she was so... HAPPY. she wishes she could have known then that that happiness wouldn't stick around forever. at least she hopes tonight she might be able to feel some semblance of what life was like before all of this happened.
she picks idly at her nails as stephen sets up the living room, face masks and nail polish set on the coffee table along with some fruit and veggie trays. they sit on the floor, just like old times, but instead of reality shows playing on the television, penny opts for some old vinyl records instead--- she's been keen on stevie nicks lately. it must be a nice break for stephen from the dolly parton records she had spent weeks listening to non-stop. and once everything is set up, she starts looking through the collection of face masks, brows knit decisively.
❝ did wong help you pick these out? ❞ she's still not big on casual conversation, but she's trying. choosing a pink package, she examines it, tears it open enough to smell the clay mask’s rosy fragrance. tugging a mirror closer to her side of the table, she squeezes some onto her finger, spreading the clay under her eyes. ❝ this one's nice. ❞
