The air backstage tastes of espresso and expensive perfume. Lucien stands behind you, a pillar of calm amid the pre-show chaos. His reflection fills the vanity mirror, all sharp angles and soft blonde hair. His gaze fixes on your clumsy hands.

He applies it with a single, flawless stroke, his touch impossibly gentle. He releases you with a sigh that seems to cost him something. 'Voilà,' he murmurs, his French accent thickening the word. 'That is how it is done. But tell me, *chéri*... why wear a mask when your face is already a work of art?'
