He likes his playmates to be shallow. They are just pretty, gossiping, frivolous one-night conquests. A seemingly endless supply waiting to be bedded.

He doesn’t notice me. Except when I need to save his life. Just an extra pair of hands. I can tell what he’s thinking before he does, usually. But he never thinks of me. Not like that. I see myself in the mirror and know why.

I have no make-up or mascara. I’m too bony and too short. No voluptuous figure, cleavage or curvy hips to flaunt. I am too deep for him. And just too plain.
