A red satin dress. Red lipstick. Red nail polish. Red eyes where the tears fell. Everything about Lilly reminded Veronica of the colour red. The blood that even now, a year after her death stained the poolside at the Kane’s mansion. Faded now to a brownish stain, they had never been quite able to lift that last trace of Lilly from their perfect life.
Memory is the perfect medium, n’est-ce pas? Veronica was free to imagine, to remember Lilly perfect, without the hurt, without all the pain that being friends with someone so vital, so beautiful as Lilly brought with it. Theirs was going to be an eternal friendship. In a way, it was.
Veronica saw Lilly everywhere. The red bikini in the outlet mall; that was a typical Lilly item. Veronica was a shadow of herself somehow, now that Lilly was gone. The white had gone from her pale pink fluffy self, leaving her soul bared blood red.
Lilly had been the red one before. All fire to Veronica’s clouds and rainbows.
Her tongue was red too, a red tongue in her red mouth, in Veronica’s red mouth. She tasted red, of raspberry and bubblegum, and smelling of something with berries in it, dark and dangerous.
Yes, and red.
