Hidden behind my mask and scrubs, I listened as she showed me my own photo and sneered, “I want to look better than this hag my boyfriend married. Make me younger so he finally leaves her.” I smiled and nodded. The surgery was flawless. She thought she was waking up reborn—until the bandages came off and her face drained of color.
