I grab my uniform and change once he’s gone. Seeing myself in the mirror makes the feeling of Vanessa’s hands creep up my sides. Her long, red nails run down my ribs like a guitar pick over strings, heat scorching my body like the sun on desert sand. It makes me shiver. I put on my uniform, rushing out to the bar. The noise of customers floods my ears, techno-pop beats in my chest, and hungry eyes scan my body, looking away after seeing the Blue Gem in front of them. I must look green under the lights, a better catch.
