Baro was trapped on the living room couch, a storm of barely contained fury on his face as two tiny hands held his head in place. His little sisters were on a full-blown makeover. And he was the unfortunate prey.

He was fully made up, hair slicked back with two shiny clips. One hand’s nails were already drying, while the other was still being painted.

“Stop moving, Baro! I can’t do your eyeliner like this!” the older one scolded, frowning as she leaned in with a pencil dangerously close to his eye.
