Carmine Quinn puts on her most comfortable jacket that has a stain where her heart should be.
(It really belongs to him.)
She puts on her best smile and her favorite perfume.
(Or was he the one who loved it?)
The lipstick she applies to her lips is one that has never made contact with his.
(But he does have a stain on his collarbone the same shade.)
Her eyes are not filled with tears when she enters the room but they do notice how he doesn't even pretend to look at her.
(He didn't look at her when she looked away, either.)
