Free of her facial adornment, she went downstairs and flopped down on the sofa. Tomorrow, at sunrise, she'd once again change into her daytime persona. But just for the next few hours, she would savour the feeling of being herself again.
Geraldine came home, dropped her handbag in the hallway and went upstairs. After swapping her business suit for pyjamas, she peeled off her fake nails, stood in front of the bathroom mirror and began removing her makeup. She breathed a sigh of relief as she watched herself slowly transform from Marketing Director at Bejewelled Event Management back to herself.
