Her Daughter's Scent

Diana had been lonely since her daughter turned eighteen because the girl started to spend much of her time with her girlfriends. The house had gotten emptier due to Diana's divorce, and now her only child Phoebe was more and more far away from her. Diana thought sadly about what she could do now since she had gotten used to dedicating her whole life to her family and had not gone out with her old friends nor taken up a nice hobby or activity of her own. She looked at herself in the mirror and was upset with her forty-two years old. She could already see some uncomfortable signs on her face that showed her age even though she had always taken good care of herself to keep her beauty. She brushed out her black hair, applied a little pink lipstick on her thick lips and tied her hair up in order to look younger. She decided that she should go out to a bar next Friday instead of being alone at home while Phoebe would probably hang out with her girlfriends.
