CELINE’S POV

I was washing some utensils on the sink when I heard Martha speak behind

  1. me. “Why are you wearing a face mask all the time, Celine?” she asked

curiously.

It wasn’t until just now that it dawned on me that Martha and my mother

was watching on the television a week ago has the same face as mine if I

removed my face mask.

discovered that there was no toothpaste available. In addition, there was no

in the bottle.
