Lettering · Forearm · Colour · Photo

A woman rests one hand against her neck while the other forearm is turned toward the camera, showing gold metallic designs on the skin. The designs include the script words be happy and love, a watch face with the word PARTY, and a striped bangle, all in clean outline and solid metallic fill. The image is set against a dark grey background with soft, low lighting that makes the gold stand out.

She laid the bangle on next, then the words, one above the other, and wrote nothing in the logbook that night except the time. By half nine the shelves were bare of anything anyone wanted back, and a man in a wet anorak came in asking whether a green holdall had turned up. She did not have it. She told him to try Leeds, then turned her wrist under the strip light and watched the gold catch, twice, before she switched off the lamp.
