Chapter 26

• MALIA’S POV
• I chose a nude lipstick that enhanced my natural lip color and added a touch of gloss for a subtle sheen. A swipe of mascara made my eyes pop, and I added a thin line of eyeliner to define them further.
• Satisfied with my appearance, I took a deep breath and felt a sense of readiness for the day ahead. The outfit, combined with the accessories and makeup, made me feel poised and confident, ready to face whatever challenges awaited me.
