She was in no hurry to get back to the office that afternoon even though he left about ten minutes earlier. Alone in the master bathroom, she brushed her hair repeatedly with the monogrammed brush from the third drawer on the left side. She placed the brush back in the drawer with the diamond studded “S” flat against the oak with the bristles facing upward. Methodically, she shaped her lips with pink liner and the filled the lines in with Maybelline 155, Party Pink. A little lipstick smeared on the marble vanity. She put the rest of her make-up in her bag and slipped a bottle of Chanel No. 5 in there as well. Moving from the bathroom to the bedroom, her left earring fell onto the Berber carpet near his side of the bed. She reached to the other side of the bed and closed the copy of Loving Frank that was on the nightstand. She didn’t bother to turn the lights off as she went into the kitchen and opened the cabinet filled with blue and white coffee cups with the all handles facing left. She flipped a few of the handles until she found the pink and white “I Love My Mommy” cup and threw that in her bag too. She did not lock the door behind her.
