The Avon rep lived on the Upper Heights of the island. It didn"t take her long to take my order over the phone, now the BlueBell was charged. I offered to come pick up my order when it was ready in two weeks, just to get away from home and meet somebody new. Her name was Tess Russell. She sounded attention deficit to me, couldn"t focus on the conversation, but real friendly. We were pals by the time she finally got my order right. A coral lipstick, a blush, and some shower gel. There was only a shower in the float house. Gosh, how I missed the big ol" soaky tub at the Powolskis. I thought a bit, leafed through the pages of the catalogue, and added a pedicure set and some clear nail polish.
“Coral nail polish?” Tess asked. “Or what about blue? It"s on page nine of Campaign eight. Crazy.”
