Marks On My Skin (Love & Ink #1) - Plot & Excerpts
I should cry at least, right? What am I doing? I looked down at the ankle tattoo I had just finished in surprise. I’d been doing it for the last hour, but I couldn’t recall how I finished it. My hands had worked separate from my brain, like when you are on a long drive and it all blurs by. “Oh I love it!” The girl on my table gushed and I forced a smile to my lips. I wrapped it for her and she handed me cash before bounding off with her boyfriend. A strange wave of emotions rose within me and I let out a long exhale to keep the tears from rising up as I watched them walk away. I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or horrified that the numbness I’d been feeling for the last few hours was wearing off.A sharp pain shot through my finger as I sat there staring at nothing in particular. Looking down at my fingers I realized I’d snapped a nail against the tabletop. Blood pooled around my fingertip. I stuck it in my mouth and consciously eased my other hand off the table.I should probably tell someone, I thought calmly.
