She has a grey hair.

It's barely noticable, a silver thread amid the blonde, but Yvonne can see it, just like she can see the hair-fine wrinkles at her eyes and mouth. They're nearly invisible, for the moment. Soon enough everyone will be able to see them. Soon enough she'll lose her best weapon.

Days like this she wishes she didn't leave Hugh. He paid no attention to her, but at least he paid her bills.

She takes a deep breath, yanks out the grey hair, and twines it tightly around her finger.

She still has time.

But not much.

Wow, this is such a mundane scene, and yet... it says so much about the character. Well done.
