About this work
Every morning Ines needs twelve steps and forty-one minutes to prepare her face. Then an old friend posts a photo of her at eighteen, laughing with her mouth open, along with the comment that made her keep her mouth closed for ten years. Her promotion interview falls the day before the reunion. Between a boss who tells her to look brighter, a client who tells her to smile, a mother who is keeping a secret and a colleague who chooses to come bare-faced, Ines has to decide which face she will take into those two rooms.
