Narcissist Seeks Narcissist (6 page)

Babette bowed her head. “I know, Szusz. I know she is. I’m sorry.”

Naomi jumped on the opportunity to say, “You look beautiful, Szusz. You look just…so perfectly you!” The emotion behind Naomi’s adoring gaze brought a lump to Szuszu’s throat. Even Babette was smiling now, standing close, waiting patiently for once in her life. How could she have been blind to wellness for so long?

Szuszu agreed, reaching for Naomi’s hand and meeting her gaze in the mirror. When she observed them together, her heart swelled with recognition, and she squeezed Naomi’s hand that much harder. “I do look quite beautiful.” She brought Naomi’s hand to her cheek and pressed it there with all the love in her heart. “And you know why, darling? Because I look like you.”
