Gail is Haunted by Mother’s Habits
Alvera appears to be authentic in the naked eye, but in Gail’s juvenile mind, her mother’s daily habits leave her mystified. Young Gail finally grew the courage to ask her mother about what has been tormenting her. To further confuse Gail, Alvera answered in a set of puzzling and vague explanations. And like every cover-up story, there is always a strange hint to what the truth really is.
Alvera’s Astonishing Secret
Day in and day out, Alvera would spend time in front of the mirror, either applying makeup on or fixing what she already had on.
