She slowly lifted her hands up to her face. After she closed her eyes, she pressed in on her temples; a click was heard and then she lifted her lovely face away from her head.
"Whoa!"
Her eyes remained in her head, along with her mouth. There were lights blinking on and off on her inner face and a sound of electronics was now audible.
"Here, take this," she said, handing me her faceplate; her voice did not come out of her mouth, instead it emitted from a high definition speaker just above it.
I wordlessly took her faceplate, which looked as beautiful in my hands as it did on her head. It still retained some of its previous warmth, having only been removed for about a minute. The eyelids were closed, guarding the fact that there were no longer any eyes behind them.
