From Joe's writing

He didn’t know what it was about the girl, but she just rubbed him the wrong way. Kristen was beautiful, though often pretended that she wasn’t. She had long, jet-black hair that contrasted perfectly with her porcelain complexion. That contrast, along with her high cheek bones and deep hazel eyes, combined to create an exotic beauty that was at once alluring and intimidating.
