Tia pulls me over and pushes me to sit down before saying "Let me help you with your hair. To be honest, I've wanted to touch it ever since I first saw it. It's... beautiful." Her eyes dance with delight as she runs her fingers through my wet hair.
I slightly relax as I sigh and say "Have fun" I give her a small smile in the mirror as she starts combing my hair. My eyes linger on the mirror, hoping and wishing that something would happen but no matter how hard I stare at it, it doesn't move.
"Okay, done! Do you like it?" Tia says patting my shoulders. I blink and turn my head to better see my hair. When I see the beautiful braids on the sides of my head, I smile. It was truly well done. My smile grows as I look at her in the mirror and nod my head while saying "It's a work of art, thank you."
