By the time we finished cleaning the bathroom, I was ready to collapse. Layla had insisted on "helping," which really just meant dancing around with a towel draped over her shoulders and getting in my way.

Layla spun around, her hair catching the light just right to show off the streaks of purple. She looked radiant, her smile wide as she admired herself in the mirror for the hundredth time.

"You really like it, don't you?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I love it," she said, fluffing her hair dramatically. "I look so good, Zaya. Like, unfairly good."

I chuckled, shaking my head. "You're officially a narcissist."
